[x3d-public] setting TouchSensor DEF in initialize() and adding a ROUTE doesn't work

[John Carlson]

AFAIK, they work well!

They are somewhat verbose!

Ultimately, I convert the scene to XML or xml protos.  I am currently using
string concatenation, which is not available in XML or Protos without
scripts.  Scripts are obtuse for programming and use of eval is
questionable.

It does take a while to load, even with XML.  Not surprising with
O(animations x body parts)

I’m hoping ProtoInstances will speed things up.
