There was some discussion at TPAC about standardising a geometry for reftests. This seems to be necessary to ensure that tests work reliably cross-browser. At present Mozilla use 800x1000 and Opera use 1600x1200. WebKit were considering 800x600. There was general agreement that smaller is better since it is faster and allows the same tests to be run on more devices. In addition, it is typically more problematic to have a test that assumes a larger geometry than a smaller one. Therefore it was proposed to standardise around 800x600. Irrespective of this, it seems to be accepted best practice to avoid hardcoded geometry dependencies where possible. This should probably be added to some documentation somewhere.
