Need help choosing a class name for CSS public API

[David Grieve]

How about CssIntermediary? 

I'm thinking that any name that starts with Style might be a bad idea since I can see us wanting to have a Style class somewhere down the road.

The class name in the proposal is StyleablePropertyMetaData and, to some extent, that is what the class is since this is where the node's property and the css property come together. The meta-data for Node's opacityProperty is shown below. As you can see, there is some information about the css property name (-fx-opacity), the type of value (a <size>) and the initial property value. There are also two methods that are used by CSS so that CSS can set the property value.

I was thinking StyleAgent since this class takes an active role in interacting with the node property. But "agent" has the connotation of something running in the background.  Maybe StyleLiaison?
