I guess we might need transforms on the defaults, that gets messy and might
mean that this construct has to be replaced by something that looks like a
group, or Switch node but picks the first of the nodes it can do. This was
part of the reason for my message yesterday about "Scale", without scale
its hard to know how to scale the generic teapot into the space.
