Actually there's a similar situation with resizeStack - in the earlier days
of Rev/MetaCard, resizeStack was sent continuously on Windows/Linux, but not
on Mac. Now, in order to get continual resizeStack messages on OS X, you
need to set the "liveResizing" of the stack to true.

Along these lines, I think it might be good to have liveResizing default to
"true" for new stacks instead of "false" - otherwise it makes resizing look
"old" on OS X. In fact the IDE itself doesn't even default to
liveResizing=true. This hasn't been filed as a bug report AFAIK.

Opinions?
