[x3d-public] Priorities

[Don Brutzman]

John please don't worry about SAI completeness.  You didn't hear me mention that.

Most Scripts take simple input events, compute a change, and send the result back out to the scene graph. Rudimentary functionality with strict typing.

X_ITE indeed supports Script nodes and prototypes, and has done so capably for a long time.  Many examples:

* https://x3dgraphics.com/examples/X3dForWebAuthors/
   https://x3dgraphics.com/examples/X3dForWebAuthors/Chapter09EventUtilitiesScripting/
   https://x3dgraphics.com/examples/X3dForWebAuthors/Chapter09EventUtilitiesScripting/ScriptEventsIndex.html

* https://x3dgraphics.com/examples/X3dForWebAuthors/Chapter14Prototypes/
   https://x3dgraphics.com/examples/X3dForWebAuthors/Chapter14Prototypes/MaterialModulatorIndex.html

Focusing on one test case at a time is a good way to isolate potential problems and resolve them - again, one test case at a time.

Good luck out there!
