[x3d-public] Fwd: Re: More Object Model Work: indicating default component andlevel in X3DJSAIL

[Don Brutzman]

one limitation of this approach is that it only documents nodes in a component, without adding corresponding information about limitations.

Such detailed information remains linked in the spec, for example

	E.5 Node set
	Table E.3 lists the nodes which shall be supported in the Immersive profile and specifies any fields in these nodes for which this profile requires less than full support.
	Table E.3 — Nodes for conforming to the Immersive profile
	http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/immersive.html#t-NodesForConforming

OBTW convenience links for all of the profile tables are found in the X3D Tooltips under X3D element, profile attribute:

http://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/X3dTooltips.html#X3D
=====================================================
[profile (Core | Interchange | CADInterchange | Interactive | Immersive | MPEG4Interactive | MedicalInterchange | Full) #REQUIRED]

profile is required and defines the player or tool support needed for this scene.

Hint: Core profile corresponds to empty profile, used for defining capabilities via components only.
	http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/coreprofile.html
Hint: Interchange profile corresponds to minimum subset of nodes needed to display lightweight compelling content.
	http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/interchange.html
Hint: Interactive profile corresponds to Interchange geometry plus simple user interaction.
	http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/interactive.html
Hint: Immersive profile is common and approximately matches VRML97 with Script and Prototypes.
	http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/immersive.html
Hint: CADInterchange profile corresponds to Interchange geometry plus distillation of computer-aided design (CAD) models.
	http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/CADInterchange.html
Hint: MedicalInterchange profile (X3D version 3.3 or later) adds support for VolumeRendering component to Interchange profile.
	http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/MedInterchange.html
Hint: Full profile contains all nodes defined in X3D specification.
