[x3d-public] Status: JSON Schema

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

Thanks for noting this advancement John, it is a very useful milestone to us.

When ready we need to go the the latest version, now labeled 2019-09 (published 8 days ago).

There is a helpful-looking section, "Migrating from older drafts"
https://json-schema.org/specification.html#migrating-from-older-drafts

Our latest version (primarily authored by Roy Walmsley with some updates by you) is available at

* http://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dUnifiedObjectModel-4.0.json
* http://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dJsonSchemaDocumentation3.3/x3d-3.3-JSONSchema.html
and
* https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dUnifiedObjectModel-4.0.json

The points in the migration sections look pretty straightforward.  How about we go through these in another two weeks or so? TODO, lets
a. upgrade current manually produced version of X3D JSON Schema, then
b. autogenerate X3D JSON Schema using X3DUOM.
c. validate with JSON schema tools when available, we can ask around there for support.
d. update all tool support and all models in X3D Examples Archives.
e. outline what ISO/IEC 19776-5 X3D JSON Encoding specification will look like next year.
