[X3D-Ecosystem] Python binding standard…which version?

[John Carlson]

This page was very helpful. Apparently, I had missed it before.

https://www.web3d.org/x3d/progress

What I will try to do is convert

https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/src/main/python/etgenerateJSONschema2020-12.py

to a stylesheet tonight, just to see if it’s possible!   Seems like it
might speed up X3D JSON standardization.
