[Don Brutzman]

X3D Schema update activity:

17 July 2016, walmsley brutzman
- Added min/max bounds for numerous fields and fixed several appinfo errata:
   no change in validation capabilities but will improve X3D Object Model fidelity.

New asset. Draft open-source Java Scene Access Interface (JSAI) autogenerated from X3D Object Model.
