The Node#setStyle(String) API is analogous to the 'style' attribute of 
HTML. To my knowledge, the style attribute in HTML does not allow for 
pseudo-class state.

This kind of functionality does fall under the umbrella of 
https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-17293 and I encourage you to add 
your comments there.
