I think that situation is strange, when creating named node by
create_vrml_from_stream and not storing node reference, we don't have
easy way to find that one. So, we have dependence between points in
code: creating node and using node.

I don't have question relate my task. I'm trying to do available
openvrml API subset under Mozilla plug-in. Typical task which I solve is
to create TouchSensor node for certain group node and to get TouchSensor
events. I'm askink for better understanding =)

Could you tell me when this task will be finished?

Is there legal way to get shared_ptr<scope>&, which is necessary for
using node_type::create_node()?
