I have a question about this.
Why would you make this part of JavaFX directly instead of offering it
as a dependency that people can include in their project?
As far as I know, it is possible to register custom URL handlers in
Java, which should be used automatically by JavaFX assuming it
constructs its URL's in the standard way when extracting them from the CSS.
This can be done since Java 9+ via URLStreamHandlerProvider. You need to
store the name of your provider in `META-INF/services`.
Any reason why this route isn't being taken?

This PR adds support for loading images from [inline data
URIs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme), which is also widely
supported by web browsers. This enables developers to package small images in
CSS files, rather than separately deploying the images alongside the CSS file.
