That said, I think we could do much better still if we abandoned the idea that reflow of inline frames had to be done using a member function on the frames. Then we could do splitting and just keep going. Much of the work (vertical alignment, horizontal alignment and justification) already happens outside of reflow anyway. -David -- L.
