[x3d-public] AllX3dElementsAttributes.xml listing of all X3D elements and attributes

[Don Brutzman]

As discussed a number of times on the X3D working group teleconferences, attached is an XML file listing all X3D elements and attributes.

Had to add a root element so that it would be valid XML.

Caveat: this is NOT a valid X3D scene, nor will it ever be.

Motivation.  The intent is to provide this file resource as a simpler basis for tools that want to know the entire X3D vocabulary quickly.  The X3D Schemas are quite thorough and as close as possible to the authoritative reference, which is actually the X3D Abstract specification.  The schemas describe an object-oriented model, however, so we use the same XML stylesheet which creates HTML for the XML Encoding annexes to produce this XML.

Roy, production note: BuildSpecificationXmlEncodingFromSchema.xslt code blocks are at the end.  TODO more refactoring is planned but this is a good start and appears to be mostly complete.

Filename sound OK?  Regular destination is part of the stylesheets directory, updates will appear at:

	http://www.web3d.org/x3d/stylesheets/AllX3dElementsAttributes.xml

Was thinking that maybe we should also make a text version to simply browsing, inspection & modification.  Come to think of it, that would be a good example stylesheet that walks this XML file to produce something else.  8)

Request to all: please alert us if you "see anything missing" and we will dial in the final version of this new product.

Have fun with XML X3D!

all the best, Don
