Michael,

I believe you are up to the same thing as I am - almost:

Here I would prefer to have a choice that the loader accepts "this" as 
an instance of PersonView and then wires up the firstNameField etc 
exactly as it does for a controller today - instead of creating a new 
instance, requiring me to lookup everything again. In this way the fxml 
loader really just replaces manual control creation with fxml specified 
controls.

Please see my proposal at the following URL for a way to achieve this in 
the current framework (with 2.1):
