Again, if USE is specified in a proto instance in X3D JSON, then X3DJSONLD and related tools will not validate a name property in the node. I suggest X3dToJson.xslt reject the spurious name when generating JSON.

<div style="font-family:Verdana">
Looking at why the old Prototypes for HAnim did not work properly for x3dom, I found that the xml examples typically have a ProtoInstance statement with a USE attribute but without the corresponding name attribute defining the actual node type. However, x3dom expects a name attribute with every ProtoInstance statement, even USE ones, to be able to insert the appropriate node.

<div style="font-family:Verdana">

Also, in my quite extensive testing of Protos, I did not come across other examples of ProtoInstance elements without a name attribute.
</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana">
</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana">
To be fair, the name attribute is not strictly necessary for USE ProtoInstances since the type of the inserted node can be determined from the referenced DEF node. But having the name attribute makes ProtoInstance elements more similar to regular nodes. So I think not requiring the name attribute for USE ProtoInstances should be explicitly allowed in the xml spec., but still be encouraged.
