(Whiteboard: [tech-debt]) 

Need: As a developer I want to be able to inspect the component I am unit testing when tests fail.

Deliverable: Instead of using detached DOM nodes attach them to the document and hide them off screen This way we can toggle them on and inspect them.

I'd be concerned that this will slow our tests down even further than they are now. If it can be proved that detached versus attached+hidden is exactly the same speed, then fair enough - I just don't want them running slower than they are now.

I would suggest we rephrase this as something like "Add a function to toggle between detached DOM nodes and attached DOM nodes".

This could be a toggle like we've got on the RTL mode on the ui-showcase display, or it could be something else.
