Hello,
I've got a few things to say from this thread.

COLLADA 1.4.1 is 99.9% backwards compatible with COLLADA 1.4.0 (the .1%
are some corner case situations that nobody implemented back then
anyways so you will never see them). Therefore stuff exported (correctly
and valid COLLADA) as 1.4.0 should load fine with the OSG plugin (well
the basic stuff. The plugin doesn't do 100% of COLLADA's features).

Blender has been known to have many problems. Their COLLADA support has
never really been up to par. Now if you have access to Maya, Max, or XSI
their plugins are a lot better. The Feeling Viewer is made using the
same library as the Maya and Max plugin so the error you had with
cow.osg will probably error in those plugins. You/we should make sure
cow.dae is a valid COLLADA document. You can run the document through a
xml schema aware validator and/or the COLLADA coherency tests (available
somewhere on www.collada.org). If it passes those tests then it's valid
COLLADA and we should post a bug against FeelingSoftware's implementation.

The COLLADA_RT_Viewer should be able to load the output from the DAE
plugin. It is what I used to test the plugin as I was developing it. I
am sorry that the code on sourceforge is out of date. A lot of changes
have been made to the DOM and RT locally but we haven't pushed out the
RT changes nearly as often(if at all) as the DOM changes. We are going
to be releasing a new package of all of our software in the VERY near
future. I am hoping to do it by the end of the day but it might not make
it till Wed. The COLLADA_RT_Viewer is only available for Windows. The
makefiles will only build the COLLADA_RT libraries but no viewer. (if
somebody wants to port the viewer to linux that would be excellent :) )
The COLLADA RT libraries are a set of functions built on top of the DOM
that will convert the DOM data into something a little more runtime /
openGL friendly.
