To clarify this a little: inline reflow is fundamentally an operation on lists, not trees. (Inline frames, which are containers, just put two items in the list: one before their children and one after.) If we do this algorithm by walking the list, without recursion into methods, then we can split things more easily and just keep going without having to go out of the recursion and then back into it on the new continuation objects. -David -- L.
