My experience shows most, if not all, 3D systems will triangulate N-point
polygons. Increasing the number of vertices while simultaneously
reducing the number of polygons will not provide mucm benefit.
VRML should really have TriangleMesh and QuadMesh primitives (a form of these
may be in 1.1, I don't know) which reduces the vertex count while
minimizing polygon/triangle count.
