[x3d-public] Priorities

[John Carlson]

X3DOM has field types, but they're under the x3dom namespace, so either
need to change script code, or provide aliases for x3dom's field types.
Ah, thank's Andreas!

I would like to get the Gears example working, because it has both script
and Protos.  Plus it's the canonical GL example, AFAIK.

I think the problem I am seeing is JavaScript knows little about what the
fields are, in the example, field name="innerRadius."

I am not particularly having an issue with script/Script/X3DScript.  I am
having problems with fields, which AFAIK, are not allowed in HTML5 script.
Using X3DScript, I am allowed to have field children.
