Hi,
I would have throught that instanced would be a "one time" thing. That is, no respawns and you go through it once.
There has been a lot of discussion about this on the beta fora. One of the problems people keep having is getting pretty far into an instance, then losing a lot of their party who cannot rejoin because the mobs in the regions that were cleared are now respawned. It does seem to make more sense to work instances more along the D2 line -- once an area is cleared, it stays cleared (at least for the session). I don't recall any Blizzard employee addressing this issue. They might just be in favor of it because it makes the instances "harder" to do and soaks up more time. But that's just a guess.
