Hi Michalis.  Am looking for the specification section that governs such behavior but not finding it... please advise.

Partial:

==============================
4.3.5 Transformation hierarchy
"Some nodes, such as Switch or LOD, contain a list of children, of which at most one is traversed during rendering."
==============================

This seems implicit, possibly vague/incomplete.  Hopefully some stronger statement can be found, otherwise maybe we should add one.

all the best, Don
