Rebuild

The spec is very normative about rebuilds.

But in the late 80's I built a system where even structural dependencies
were kept, so that an insert or delete caused a recalculate, and there was  
no such
concept as a rebuild.
(details: http://oai.cwi.nl/oai/asset/5342/05342D.pdf)

So, how normative is our rebuild? If inserts caused a recalculate instead  
of a rebuild, we would surely be OK with that?

If so, then we need to be less formal about the need for rebuilds.
