[x3d-public] Mantis issue 976: Implicit fields in ClassicVRMLencoding

[John Carlson]

I'm all for pushing Script nodes in VRML to the limit.   I think this has
been underemphasized.

I just prefer a declarative structure that's been generalized to more than
3D graphics.   I know it's possible for VRML or an extension to do
this...when?  Can we see practical examples of VRML that do something like
XSLT, with the appropriate engine?  Or attempts to?
