[x3d-public] protos for v4: x3dom + cobweb?

[doug sanden]

So to make heterogenous node systems work there would need to be an efficient system for wrapping/unwrapping.
For example passing a DOM based node on the interface of a non-DOM proto, for use in non-DOM VRMLscript.
To be efficient, perhaps the DOM nodes need to have a DOM interface over a compatible non-DOM implementation. Then passing in, it's efficient to unwrap?
