When you say "bindings", I assume you mean controller field injection? There is actually already a JIRA ticket for this:
http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-12843
I was initially opposed to this because bean properties are inherently public, so you may end up exposing values in your controller that should otherwise be private or protected. However, if we supported private or protected property setters via the @FXML annotation (like we do with fields), we could get around this. Not a bad idea.
Either way, you don't really need this in order to inject fields into an interface-based controller - FXMLLoader performs reflection on the actual type of the instantiated controller, not the type specified in the fx:controller attribute. So basically, it will look for fields on whatever type your controller factory returns.
