We load VRML 1.0 files using the Inventor 2.1 capability. We modified
the loader library for inventor pfLoadIv() for actively using Anchors
and Inlines, but did not have to monkey with LODs to get them
to work in Performer. There is an old bug in Performer with LODs
and intersection that is fixed with Performer 2.0.2 that you should
watch out for.

We now do VRML 2.0 loading into Performer 2.0 too, w/notable exception
of Script nodes. We expect to be done with script nodes soon too.
