Re: Rerender or re-render?

[Odile Sullivan-Tarazi <odile -at- mindspring -dot- com>]

Well, no, it's not in the dictionary.  Perhaps too new a term?  Not 
commonly used in the general language?

But I mean, in terms of general principles, would you hyphenate it or 
not?  I'd thought perhaps so because of the double "re" at the 
beginning of the word, but I see "rerelease" in AH.  MW's not much 
help, unless I'm missing something in my haste.  A Google search 
turns up the solid form in common use.  But these are all manner of 
blogs and casual discussions.  I haven't had a chance to diligently 
search published sources.
