SVG in CSS

Hi,

I recall having a conversation with a javafx team member and him saying it
wasn't possible to input an url of an svg image as the background-image of
a Region.

If that is the case, I think it would be beneficial to add this feature -
set the background-image of a region to be an svg file. Right now the
process is a bit cumbersome: you have to convert an svg file to the svg
path notation and then insert it into the -fx-shape field. So every time
you want to change an svg image you have to go through this process, plus
the fact that you can't see what is the image in the -fx-shape field unless
you have some super processor inside your brain that can process svg path
notation :-)

Also, it would be good if the svg file could be styled via css as you can
now do with the svg path in the -fx-shape property.

Thanks, regards,
