[x3d-public] Proto expander. Scripts in protobodies without a DEF

[Don Brutzman]

Thanks for discussion today on this topic.  I think the core issue is how to handle IS/connect by adding a ROUTE in the expanded prototype.

The previous MaterialModulator scene didn't test that.

Attached please find changes to the original MaterialModulator scene that adds external routing of values outside the ProtoInstance to toggle it.

Subject to improvements, and deciding on design pattern, we can add corresponding expansions to MaterialModulatorPrototypeExpanded.x3d to illustrate what a workable conversion might look like.

Yes legal.

If you had a Script in a ProtoBody with directOutput='true', then one would expect to see a field of type SFNode/SFNode.  I'll add a check to X3D Schematron to look for that.

all the best, Don
