[BUG] Accessors with sparse storage but without bufferView fail validation

[seberoth]

Describe the bug If a accessor uses sparse storage but hasn't defined a bufferView, the validation fails with Message: Accessor[13] _bufferView: must be defined. The gltf spec says thats allowed but the accessor MUST be initialized with zeros.

Yes, this is a known issue; for some reason I don't undersand (and I don't fully agree) Khronos accepts glTF with missing buffers as valid.

The problem is that supporting missing buffers breaks some stuff inside the APIs, so I am still reasearching for a proper solution.

I recalled I already asked about this issue here https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Validator/issues/189

I'll investigate a solution...
