I would like to propose adding support for loading images from inline data-URIs, as commonly supported by web browsers. This is a low-impact addition to the image loading infrastructure as seen in this draft PR: https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/508
As a follow-on feature, I'd also like to support loading stylesheets from data-URIs. With both features implemented, developers have more flexibility in working with stylesheets. For example, it'd be possible to dynamically generate and add stylesheets to applications without deploying temporary files on disk. Another scenario would be to include small theme-specific icons in their respective stylesheets, which can simplify deployment. Any thoughts?
