The main design goal is to provide a control that is complete enough to be useful out-of-the box, as well as open to extension by the application developers.

We are, therefore, introducing this in an incubating module, **jfx.incubator.richtext**. This will allow us to evolve the API in future releases without the strict compatibility constraints that other JavaFX modules have.
