Well, Webkit has 100+ different customizable settings. I don't think we need all of them, but I can imagine us having 20-30 settings (e.g. whether to load images, max number of network connections per server, turn page caching on/off, user agent ID string etc). So I thought a separate namespace for settings was appropriate.

From FXML standpoint the single entry point for javafx.scene.web is currently WebView. It has a custom builder class that passes some properties to the underlying WebEngine, e.g.
	<WebView location="..."/>   calls   webView.getEngine().setLocation(...);
and we can extend it so that
	<WebView javaScriptEnabled="true"/>   calls   webEngine.getEngine().getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

Thanks!
