[x3d-public] What should this file display (for the experts)?

[Don Brutzman]

John, the scene passes all X3D Validator tests and shows 3 boxes.  As expected, the ProtoInstance fieldValue for myShape overrides the default (a cylinder).

Style note:  it is possible to stick in Shape/Text string="hey you forgot to reinitialize me" or somesuch using your proto design.

Test report:

- InstantReality and View3dscene correctly show boxes (screenshot attached)
- BS Contact, FreeWrl and Octaga mistakenly show Cylinders (failing to replace with ProtoInstance fieldValue Box)
- H3D Viewer mysteriously shows spheres (apparently from the un-instanced anyShape ProtoDeclare)
- Xj3D fails to load properly

Excellent test scene.  Let's add metadata and any updates (perhaps unique texture for each shape, describing each error case) and we can figure out where to archive it.
