           Summary: Unify three methods to decide whether a renderer
                    should be created
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: zimmermann at kde.org


We currently have three code paths doing decisions on whether a renderer should be created/destroyed:
- Node::rendererIsNeeded(RenderStyle*) - decide whether a Node need a renderer based on RenderStyle information (display() != NONE, etc.)
- Node::childShouldCreateRenderer(Node*) - decide whether a children of a certain element should get a renderer
- RenderObject::isChildAllowed() - checks whether a new renderer can be appended, if not the renderer is destroyed again (see createRendererIfNeeded())

These code paths should ideally be unified.
