HLSL: VSInput semantics have no effect

[Jordandionduval]

While working with the tool, I was trying some stuff with normal maps and I noticed that while inputs can be changed, the semantics have no effects.

For example, if I wanted to define a variable for the position, normal and Texture Coordinates in an HLSL, I would write it like this:

struct VSInput {
	float3 Position 	: POSITION;
	float3 Normal 		: NORMAL;
	float2 TexCoord		: TEXCOORD;
};

Now, if I tried this instead:

struct VSInput {
	float3 Position 	: POSITION;
	float2 TexCoord 	: TEXCOORD;
	float3 Normal		: NORMAL;
};

My Normal variable would contain texture coordinates data and vice versa.

This bug also makes it so you can't access the other inputs provided in the documentation.

I tried with Color on a mesh that had vertex color applied and it didn't work. I can't exactly confirm for Binormal and Tangent (new to HLSL so not sure I understand everything), but compared to results in other applications it didn't look like it worked either.
