Planning for JavaFX.next

[Anthony Vanelverdinghe]

Hi Jonathan

Personally, I'd love to see
* some particular media enhancements, namely audio device enumeration 
and selection [1] and support for keyboard "multimedia keys" [2]
* TabPane improvements to be on a par with browsers (support for 
reordering/dragging [3], having a close button on all tabs, allow to 
"middle-click close" non-active tabs, etc.)

[1] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8091008
[2] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8090319
[3] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8092098

Kind regards
Anthony
