That is simple with a scenegraph-to-scenegraph converter.
The problem cases such as LODs and billboards need to be stored
as LODs and billboards of the other scenegraph. No camera
matrix required here.

Neither scenegraphs cannot be rendered directly if they contain
the problem cases. Otherwise the scenegraph with, e.g., bounding
boxes/spheres is still good to have.

Do all this discussion mean that there is no standard scenegraph
nor good object/scenegraph loader which Tyler could have used in
the first place? How SSG compares to www.opensg.org or
www.openscenegraph.{org,com}?
