It would be relatively straightforward to postprocess with perl, awk,
javascript, python etc. the X3D4 xml to add containerField='value'
attributes for Metadata* nodes which do not yet have an explicit
containerField.

something like:

awk:
$0 ~ "<Metadata" && $0 !~ "containerField="
{
  sub("<Metadata[^ ]*","& containerField='value'")
}
{ print }

Note that this requires the containerField attribute to be on the same
line as the opening tag which should be verified.
