Yea, I noticed Netscape at least does this. I think MSIE does also. It's
pretty stupid. Sure, you may have to re-interpret the HTML to do the
resize, but there is no good reason to do a re-load. It makes some web
sites incredibly painful, get to the site, wait for it to download,
realize the window needs to be bigger, re-size, then wait again while it
re-downloads.
