[8u40] API review: (RT-38192) CSS support for Region as graphicProperty on Labeled

[Tom Schindl]

Hi,

To me this looks like a none breaking change or do I miss something?

Still why not getting more generic and provide FXML as the graphic
syntax, the URI could be able to detect this as well, the FXMLLoader
naturally should never ever be load a controller when it is used from
inside an CSS.

Now on the syntax would it be better instead of defining svg-path to
work with protocols like browsers are doing it today (see data-urls).

We'd have then:
* file:
* http:
* ...
* data:scenegraph/svg-path;....
* data:scenegraph/fxml;....
