ProtoInstance
This abstract node type is the base type for all prototype instances in the X3D system. Any user-defined nodes declared with PROTO or EXTERNPROTO are instantiated using this base type. An PrototypeInstance may be place anywhere in the scene graph where it is legal to place the first node declared within the prototype instance. For example, if the base type of first node is Geometry, that prototype may be instantiated anywhere in the scene graph that allows for an appearance node (e.g. Shape).
