I may be biased, but it seems to me that if the spec describes the static rendering and does not explicitly define how it changes dynamically then the correct conceptual behavior is that any time any of the inputs to the rendering algorithm changes the whole thing is rerendered. This is the behavior that browsers should pretend is taking place (in reality, of course, the optimize away as much of the "redoing the work" aspect as they can). So unless the spec explicitly says otherwise, the Firefox behavior seems most correct to me, with WebKit's being maybe barely acceptable. -Boris
