[x3d-public] X3D agenda 25 FEB 2022: resolve SpotLight defaults, other Mantis issues

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

6. Also proposed for working-group review, comments welcome:

 

*	Mantis 1382: 37.4.10 RigidBody as X3DChildNode (instead of X3DNode)
*	https://www.web3d.org/member-only/mantis/view.php?id=1382

 

*	X3D Architecture, clause 37 Rigid body physics, 37.4.10 RigidBody
*
https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4Draft/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-CD1/Part01/
components/rigidBodyPhysics.html#RigidBody

 

	
Seems more consistent and practical to have RigidBody as X3DChildNode.
No problems yet seen, testing with X3DUOM and XMLSpy looks OK.

If there are any difficulties with content model, then do not do it.
If added, only expected changes are to the node signature and the Interface
hierarchy.

 

all the best, Don

3.	I "discovered" about a hundred more issues on Mantis that were not
being tracked, ouch. They are now all "assigned" and being seen by our
filters.  The majority are editorial in nature, time-consuming but not
requiring working-group inputs.  Will advise when help is needed.

4.	Michalis Appearance adjustments: please walk us through this, there
are some questions, should be simple.
