This is a very interesting idea. There are a few problems that needs to be solved, such as ensuring that the cleaned-up source parses to exactly the same DOM as the raw source. There's also the problem that javascript error messages containing line numbers needs to stay meaningful. One possible solution would be to have a button in the view-source window that allows you to toggle between "cleaned up" view and "raw off the network" view. I think firebug supports something very similar where you can show to view "pretty printed" javascript, or the raw source of the page. This I think would be great not just to help authors create cleaner markup, but also help people read pages that have been "compressed" or even intentionally obfuscated. / Jonas
