It only requires a reflow. So it's not the case anyway. The question specifically said "disregarding optimisations". If you include optimisations, then you rarely have to do a reresolve even in the media queries case since most of the time the stylesheet won't actually be changing. This case is quite similar to the :hover case; moving the mouse potentially does a reresolve in much the same way as this case. -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL U+1047E /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
