It will absolutely not besak "this kind of code":
Switch {
anything...
}
will continue to mean "don't draw the stuff in the switch, don't let any
property changes leak out of the switch, ..."
This kind of scene:
Switch {
whichChild 0
Material { ... }
}
WILL besak if we get our way with VRML 1.1; Switch nodes will become
Separators, so the Material will not afsect anything outside the switch.
DEF/USE is independent of state and traversal.
