[x3d-public] Finding more than one use of a DEF in VRML

[John Carlson]

What if I want to convert VRML to XML for the Annex A HAnim 2.0 standard,
using a community tool, and the number of DEFs goes up by 1-2 orders of
magnitude?   Shouldn't there be a validator for the converter? (not just me
putzing around with files).
