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

[Kevin Rushforth]

Kirill already answered the question of its being a node property:  Node 
already has xScale and yScale properties...this is something subtly 
different.

I think either zoom or zoomFactor would be fine (I would note that zoom 
is shorter, so might be better if it won't be confusing).
