That's exactly what sites did to work around NS4 not reapplying CSS in some
cases. The result is that some UAs don't actually reload when you do
location.reload() from a resize event handler. The relevant Gecko code comment,
for example, is:
// location.reload() was called on a window that is handling a
// resize event. Sites do this since Netscape 4.x needed it, but
// we don't, and it's a horrible experience for nothing. In stead
// of reloading the page, just clear style data and reflow the
// page since some sites may use this trick to work around gecko
// reflow bugs, and this should have the same effect.
In other words, UAs already have to do with this situation....
