Agreed.  There are some internationalization scenes that are not converting properly.  Added as a TODO item.

* Internationalization (I18N): confirm proper handling of XML character entities and UTF-8 characters, both in Java source and when serializing to other X3D encodings.

	"X3D scene models typically use the UTF-8 character encoding which is capable of representing all possible characters used in human languages."

p.s. no HelloWorld scenes with French or German yet?!  :o

all the best, Don
