In the past, we just restyled the added/modified element and its descendants. This wasn't quite enough, so I added code to do additional restyling in certain cases where necessary. This was done in the following bugs: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15608 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401291 so the code added in those two bugs is the code that handles reresolving style on elements other than descendants. -David -- L.
