Bug Description

A .wrl file is for VRML files as shown in http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/14772/V2.0/part1/examples.html. In all of those examples the first line is "#VRML V2.0 utf8".

For X3D files in the ClassicVRML encoding, the correct suffix is .x3dv, as shown in http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19776-2/V3.2/Part02/examples.html.

All of the .wrl files in /usr/share/titania should really be .x3dv files.

See also: http://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/Basic/X3dSpecifications/index.html.

I understand that from titania's perspective, the two file formats are the same because the encodings are compatible, but titiania should use the correct suffix for files it has.

I noticed that there are five files left 998:

/usr/share/titania/Library/Primitives/Interpolation/EaseInEaseOut.wrl
/usr/share/titania/Library/Primitives/Interpolation/FadeOut.wrl
/usr/share/titania/goldengate/audio.wrl
/usr/share/titania/goldengate/image.wrl
/usr/share/titania/goldengate/video.wrl

Thanks for the hint.
