[x3d-public] Mantis issue resolution request

[Michalis Kamburelis]

Don,

I see you fixed this in
https://github.com/Web3DConsortium/X3D/commit/40b250be3a341f16614bab045849f78c4f28c042
-- thank you, this is exactly what we needed.

Good catch with "TextureProperties.textureCompression" -- indeed it
deserved a similar change (to be "DEFAULT" by default), this is perfect.

Regards,
Michalis
