I think we should probably make this part of the schema class, in USD.NET.Unity.

Can you note the problematic viewers and versions here, for future reference?

Set subdivision scheme to "none" and explicity set normal interpolation to "vertex". This fixes #192 but will need additional changes for "USD roundtrip" scenarios where keeping the subdiv scheme is desired. I think that is a problem for later since such a round trip would also require proper support for faceVarying attributes being carried through / reconstructed on export if desired.
Current state of this should potentially be added to the docs to make it more clear what "roundtrip" means and what export currently does.
