x3d nodes in vrml

whilst looking at getting an XML editor for x3d files, with the main
idea of using the keySensor node, i started to wonder if you could
just link to a node in x3d from vrml, so you could just add the new
x3d nodes to existing vrml encodings, and it works ( in flux anyway).

see:

http://vrml.portland.co.uk/#oddities

and click the keySensor.wrl link,

then type something and it appears in 3D, ( only tested in flux.)

if you look at the code, you'll find there's an x3d ( XML encoded )
file that just exposes some of the new nodes to an externalproto in
the vrml file.
