[X3D-Ecosystem] Proto processor output without protos

[John Carlson]

What I’d like to do is JSON -> DOM -> Proto processor-> JSON -> STL,  but
there’s a possible infinite loop in that I haven’t figured out yet.

Plus I need to enable STL -> JSON processing when not loading a file.

A lot of work to do.
