That sounds hard to spec and likely to make applications unreliable. I've always assume applications and libraries should be designed to avoid excessive layout flushing. What makes that hard?

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us." [1 John 1:8-10]
