[x3d-public] question on MFStrings in XML.

[Don Brutzman]

Curiously this missing-space-character-between-quote-marks bug didn't occur when first re-running the X3dToXhtml.xslt conversion.

File correction applied and uploaded:

	https://savage.nps.edu/Savage/AircraftFixedWing/F16-FightingFalcon-Turkey/F16.html#FireTextTransform

	<Text string='"Target Locked" " FIRE!.." "(Green Button)"'/>

Thus this conversion improvement must have been fixed previously but not fully applied (to Savage model library at least).

I will be updating and uploading all of the pretty-print annotated versions, with zips to follow next Monday.
