Any time I see that sort of thing, I get worried.  In particular, every 
instance of actual two-pass layout in Gecko that was web-facing has had 
to be more or less removed because of sites nesting things needing such 
layout, leading to exponential growth in the number of passes on the 
innermost boxes.

So is this the sort of two-pass layout that's only two passes no matter 
what the nesting depth is, or is this the sort that gives you 1024 
passes once nested 10 deep?
