Having a menu option to do an incremental reflow on part of a page would make 
testing for reflow/incr-reflow disparities easier.  Does "reflow selection" 
make sense, or can you not always reflow arbitrary bits of code?
Great idea. Sending to Layout queue for sometime in the future.

I'd need to think about this.  Off the top of my head, you would have to walk 
over the selection, marking each frame dirty, and you'd have to construct the 
reflow command appropriately for the deepest common parent of the selection, and 
dump it into the reflow queue.

If someone wanted to do this, I could consult.

This might make more sense in viewer than in the main browser.

->nobody.  Is this still worthwhile?

Summary: [RFE] debug menu option to "reflow selection" → debug menu option to "reflow selection"
you can always do a style change incremental reflow by causing a style change
via a javascript: URL.  It doesn't seem worthwhile to add code to do the same
thing in other ways.
