I think the methods should return the unrounded values (getWidth/getHeight).  
Nothing in the API docs precludes this (it isn't even mentioned that it does 
this); just mentioning that it returns things in points does not mean they're 
rounded.

Compare this with other methods in JavaFX that mention the unit (ie. pixels for 
Nodes, seconds for Animation/Timelines) that don't round those.

So thumbs up from me for this change.
