I think we should not make the assumption that there is a standard
viewer that we can check everything against, in practice it just needs
to be tested against many applications like MeshLab, Sketchup, Max,
Maya, ... same as was done for FBX. Otherwise you just end up fixing
things for one application and breaking it for others again.
