      The current version of WebView has a Webkit that is missing WebkitMutationObserver.
      When creating a firebug-like 'dom view' of a document that is loaded in a WebView one needs a way to detect changes to the DOM and reflect these changes to the 'dom view', one needs WebkitMutationObserver for this to work.
      With firebug-like dom view I mean a tree view where each row represents a single dom node in the document DOM.

      DOM mutations are currently supported in WebView but are a. Deprecated and b. crash the VM because of bug http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-24142
