Differences between WebView and Webkit

[Steve Hannah]

To sort of answer my own question, I found out that the JavaFX webview is
missing quite a few APIs that are present in Webkit.  This is the result of
the HTML test I ran:

This gives me a starting point so I can create polyfills if I want to move
forward.
