According to Stefan Ram, using the following code:
>     final javafx.beans.binding.NumberBinding spaces =
>     height.subtract( number );

would cause the subtraction to be re-evaluated with the current values
of height and number, each time spaces.getValue() is called, while


>     final javafx.beans.property.IntegerProperty spaces

>     ( height.getValue() - number.getValue() );

would cause the subtraction to be performed only once, when spaces is
created. Are you saying he got those reversed? Or something more
complicated than that?
