Correct.

No.

I don't know if you saw my example elsewhere in this thread.
I think it is more clear than the example provided by Stefan.
Bringing NumberBinding into the example was unfortunate IMHO.

In it, the ability to bind/unbind becomes much easier.
Despite its name, to get NumberBinding to provide bind/unbind
capabilities you must do the work yourself. As recommended in
the NumberBinding javadoc this is best done by extending a
base class implementation such as DoubleBinding. See the
DoubleBinding javadoc for example code.
