Ok I realize this flag isn't really needed.

But i believe the second one is useful for future features such as , for
example, an error system. The text of a badly written tag will be
displayed in a red table instead of rendering the Tag. Here, it is
useless to be able to resize the table.
And let's forget the third flag.
I don't think the second flag will complicate too much the
implementation as it concerns only a few Nodes (Applet, Img, table,
object, and maybe some others) and don't interact with others elements.
If you don't mind, i'd like to implement the resizing of these Nodes ;)
