I second this request! I've been working on the VRML import/export code for
ESP Modeler and that message "File does not contain valid VRML data" has been
driving me crazy! Useful info would be the line number, current node, an
indication of what is wrong ("unknown class", "bad value", "need array", etc),
and an example of the correct syntax where appropriate.

Or maybe some kind soul will do a syntax checker? I wish I had the time!
