[x3d-public] Unexpected behaviour of X3D Validator

[Andreas Plesch]

I can confirm the validator behaviour. Perhaps the 'small' x3d is
still too large to be processed although the no DTD version is
actually processed.

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/andreasplesch/973d94d6e88db471e9473b0af78a5a67/raw/8d8f0aa7b397973f42ee74f62f200a3849f92d5c/Shapley_small_tidied.x3d

is the result of the no dtd x3d after being processed by the
validator, plus the MFString fixes noticed by Leonard.

x3dom is less strict about quoting in text node string field. This is
why x3dom works for your nice ShaSS 3d page. No plugins needed.

Not sure what the Safari 10.1.2 issue could be. Sometimes you get
these no scene errors if the html/xml parser had problems, often with
self-closing tags which work only in xml. Did the inlined x3d used to
work in this version of Safari ? Other messages in the browser
console, or x3dom debug console (press 'd') ? Does the inline tutorial
example on x3dom.org work ?
