New CSS parser for JavaFX

[Andy Goryachev]

Michael:

This might be a good idea.  A few questions:


  *   can we create stylesheets programmatically without parsing (i.e. construct the token tree directly)?
  *   would it be possible to add a diagnostic (at the moment of applyCSS()) to show the actual rule(s) being used?
  *   are we going to track the evolution of https://www.w3.org/TR/css-syntax-3/ "spec"?
  *   are we going to clarify the w3 "spec" (what is the value of "EOF code point"?)?
  *   are there incompatibilities between web-style CSS and FX-style CSS?
  *   what is the testing strategy?

Thank you

Subject: New CSS parser for JavaFX
I've written up a proposal to implement a new CSS parser for JavaFX:
https://gist.github.com/mstr2/f416996caf48e11193f0b6a5883a3926

The goal is not add new features at this point, but to resolve some
long-standing issues with the existing CSS parsing (though if you read
carefully, you might spot a new feature).

I'm interested in your opinion whether this is a good idea to move forward.
