Added a couple more comments / questions. I'll look at the CSR soon.

modules/jfx.incubator.richtext/src/main/java/jfx/incubator/scene/control/richtext/model/RichTextFormatHandler.java
 line 62:

> 60:  * PARAGRAPH[]
> 61:  *
> 62:  * VERSION_STRING*: {

I presume this is optional to support backward compatibility with saved files 
prior to adding the version? When the RichTextArea API is finalized, this 
should be a required element.

modules/jfx.incubator.richtext/src/main/java/jfx/incubator/scene/control/richtext/model/StyledSegment.java
 line 262:

> 260:      * @since 27

> 262:     public static StyledSegment ofVersion(String version) {

What is the advantage of making the version number be a `StyledSegment` (as 
opposed to a separate type, e.g., `Header` or `Version`)?
