Hmmm, I wonder if that is really optimal behaviour ? At Royal Holloway, we have just backed out code that effectively did that, on the basis that a user re-sizing his window was presumably doing so in order to see less (or more) of the current document /as displayed/. We then added a hook to trap a page refresh and then and only then re-consider how best the page might be presented at the new size. Our application was far more trivial than a full re-layout (we were just computing the optimal base font size for a given measure), but I wonder if the thinking that led to our backing out code was also considered when the CSS group reached this decision ?
