It is certainly not cyclic, and since the DOM is a finite tree we can even say that the maximum number of passes would be at most equal to the depth of the tree if every element in one of the critical paths are viewports. > > I'd love to hear thoughts from other implementors. :) > > Me too! > > ~TJ >
