API REVIEW: WebView.scale property (for JavaFX 3.0 now)

[Kirill.Prazdnikov]

Hi John,

Originally,
   This feature is a typical browser zoom feature, like if you open a 
web page in InternetExplorer and use View\Zoom +\- to decrease\increase 
virtual screen ( and relay-out everything ) and  to increase\decrease 
visual appearance accordingly.

You may try Ctrl+"+" and Ctrl+"-" in IE.
In order to achieve per coordinate zoom (X,Y) you may use Node.scaleXY 
properties.

Thanks,
   -Kirill
