VRML2 Collision nodes - children are loaded but no specification of collision detection occurs.
VRML1 WWWAnchor and VRML2 Anchor nodes - children are loaded but clicking objects does not load
any referenced VRML world.
VRML1 and VRML2 LOD nodes - the most detailed (that is, first) child is always loaded.
Unsupported Entities
All ROUTE definitions
All sensor nodes
All interpolator nodes
Textures specified within the VRML file (VRML2 PixelTexture nodes and the image component of VRML1
Texture2 nodes).
