At the recent Houdini meeting there was a vague agreement between the browser
engines on adding a way for elements to be notified when their size changes.
We've run into a number of scenarios where this is extremely useful, and is
otherwise difficult or annoying (e.g. checking your size on a timer).
The idea was to allow the resize event on elements. I don't really care what
the solution is, so maybe someone here can come up with a better idea (size
observers?). And of course there are a lot of details to be worked out.
If we settle on a solution fairly soon I will implement it in WebKit nightly
builds so people can play.

Yes, I desperately need this!
Right now I have to try to trigger off of a bunch of things that can
change the size of the parent (e.g. a details node opening or closing) -
it would be much easier to just have a resize event on the parent node
itself.
