ViewpointInlineMain.x3d

Tests initial binding of viewpoints with Inlined content. Should be at 0 0 10. Some browsers are allowing Inlined content to be the first available binding node.

Specification Notes

From 7.2.2:

During read, the first encountered <bindable node> in each layer is bound by pushing it to the top of the <bindable node> stack for that layer. Nodes contained within files referenced by Inline nodes, within the strings passed to the Browser.createX3DFromString() method, or within X3D files passed to the Browser.createX3DFromURL() method (see Part 2 of ISO/IEC 19775) are not candidates for the first encountered <bindable node>. The first node within a locally defined prototype instance is a valid candidate for the first encountered <bindable node>. The first encountered <bindable node> sends an isBound TRUE event.

So the default values of 0 0 10 should be used, not 0 0 5 from the Inline.
