No, actually.  Sarissa is essentially an XSLT processor within
JavaScript if I understand correctly (take this with a grain of salt,
my only exposure to Sarissa is through other people on this list).
I'm talking about a plugin that lets you view the current source (or
the current state of the DOM after xslt transformation and then any
JavaScript manipulations).  For example, the Web Developer plugin for
Firefox you can go to View Source  -> View Generated Source.  I
believe there are plugins of a similar nature for IE.

Viewing generated source is always a little problematic via the
plugins, but it's better than just random guessing.

Don't know.  I've vaguely remember hearing someone mention there was a
browser that you could change the view source to be generated, but it
wasn't one of the more popular ones.  You'll have to do research for
the browsers of your choice.

I can't imagine developing for the web and not using Web Developer.
Before I had some similar home-brew tools that had similar
functionality but it's much easier with Web Developer.
