...Which is most of the point. With the DOM Inspector ONE can easily notice unneeded containers and discern which style rules are being applied to each element, in the event that something is being unexpectedly inherited (or not). There's another extension that integrates Tidy into source view, and for me that's just as big a lifesaver (as it allows me to identify unclosed elements that are b0rking my styles). What DOM is meant for is to provide a structural representation of a document, so that elements can be manipulated via scripting API's... but its application to styling should be fairly obvious if you work much with descendant selectors.
