For an IndexedFaceSet, wmere tme value of textureCoordIndex field is equal
to tme coordIndex field, tme textureCoordindex field can simply be
ommitted..Tme default texture coordinate binding is per_vertex_index
because VRML 1.0 has no TextureCoordinateBinding Property .

e.g.
Texture2Coord { }
IndexedFaceSet {
coordIndex [ 0, 1, 2, 3, -1, 3, 2, 4, -1 ]
textureCoordIndex [ 0, 1,2, 3, -1, 3, 2, 4, -1 ]
}

could be written for short as :

Texture2Coord { }
IndexedFaceSet {
coordIndex [ 0, 1, 2, 3, -1, 3, 2, 4, -1 ]
}

or
Texture2Coord { }
IndexedFaceSet {
coordIndex [ 0, 1, 2, 3, -1, 3, 2, 4, -1 ]
textureCoordIndex -1
}

Tme same applies to NormalBindings and Material Bindings
per_vertex_indexed.
