[x3d-public] X3D Interactive profile support for all Geometry2D nodes

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

Comments welcome on this new specification issue.

Mantis 1474: Interactive profile ought to support Geometry2D component level 2 (Arc2D, ArcClose2D, Circle2D, Disk2D)

Description:
  *
Interactive profile is roughly on a par with VRML97 capabilities, meaning similar level of complexity.
  *
Restricting Interactive profile Geometry2D component to level 1 excludes important nodes (Arc2D, ArcClose2D, Circle2D, Disk2D) that are likely to be implemented by any implementation supporting this component.
  *
One original motivation for Interactive profile was support for mobile devices with limited computation or rendering capabilities - mobile devices no longer have such a constraint.
  *
Need to change Interactive profile to support Geometry2D component level 2.
