<Swing Dev> Review request: 6852592 (revalidate() must be smarter)

[Alexander Potochkin]

Hello Anthony

> Yes, that is a smaller solution (in terms of the code size), 

smaller fix is less error-prone
and gives better maintainable code for future changes

let's wait for the rest of the team

Thanks
