Or we disable (that part of) the test suite? Or we search for a 
different source of 3D files. I mean, we're not bound to whitedune-docs 
in any way.

If Michalis says it's invalid VRML, I can see why he wouldn't want that. 
If it's possible to clearly identify this as "user mistakes" than it 
could be ignored, but I would expect it has to be escaped for a reason. 
On the other hand, what they often say about internet daemons: be strict 
in what you send, be forgiving in what you receive (concerning 
protocol). I guess the same potentially could apply here.
