In my mind, the size of the "swappable" container, that has multiple sets of children should be constant. http://pippin.gimp.org/zpim/draft.png is one simple kind of zoomable interface that could be realized that would benefit from such "rendering termination". I don't think font hinting should be allowed to force relayouts nor rehyphenation either. /pippin -- «The future is already here.
