Thanks :)

I made some more changes, mostly edits and moving things around. I 
noticed the really nice page containing the file format overview! It's 
linked from the FAQ now.

Here and there I added lines marked with "XXX" to indicate some stuff 
that needs to be expanded/clearified/etc. For some topics I feel I'm not 
the one with all the details.

BTW, there's some different usage of OSG, OpenSceneGraph, the 
OpenSceneGraph, etc. Perhaps we should get these consistent. Would 
referring to "The OpenSceneGraph" be the best variant?

PS Updated FAQ is still in the sandbox for now
