Abstract: Let $W$ be a finite reflection group. For a given $winW$, the following assertion may or may not be satisfied: (*) The principal Bruhat order ideal of $w$ contains as many elements as there are regions in the inversion hyperplane arrangement of $w$. We present a type independent combinatorial criterion which characterises the elements $winW$ that satisfy (*). A couple of immediate consequences are derived: (1) The criterion only involves the order ideal of $w$ as an abstract poset. In this sense, (*) is a poset-theoretic property. (2) For $W$ of type $A$, another characterisation of (*), in terms of pattern avoidance, was previously given in collaboration with Linusson, Shareshian and Sj"ostrand. We obtain a short and simple proof of that result. (3) If $W$ is a Weyl group and the Schubert variety indexed by $winW$ is rationally smooth, then $w$ satisfies (*).
