View Anonymous Boxes

[pedz]

The css3 box document here: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box/#block-level0

It says:

An anonymous box, informally, is a box that cannot be addressed with CSS selectors. All its properties, except for ‘display’, have their default values (either the initial value or inherited). ...

The example below it shows an example.

I'm not sure but I think sometimes I'm fighting against the browser because it puts in anonymous boxes and I can't see them and I can't get their "default values" (whatever that may be).

Is it feasible for Firebug find those and make it more obvious to users (developers) that they exist?  e.g. add them into the displayed html tree somehow.  I'm not 100% sure... but I think that would help me out.

e.g. right now I'm goofing around trying to understand why the layout engines decide to do what they do inside an SVG foreignObject and so far I can't find the logic the engines (not just Firefox but Chrome and Safari) are using.  Often they agree but sometimes they don't.

Thanks guys
