These days a "reflow" is the defacto term for what the WebKit codebase terms a "layout":

http://www.slideshare.net/lsimon/go-with-the-reflow

I think it would provide more clarity to developers to adopt the common vernacular.

In the timeline view, I'd love to see the inspector use the term "Reflow" for those events.
