We should also be able to associate a texture with a face, rather than
the current restriction of one texture for each shape. I ran into this
when writing a converter to turn Sense8 NFF files into VRML; NFF lets you
have a texture for each face, so you'd have to generate a whole series of
IndexedFaceSet nodes for the object (one for each texture).
