Many pages generate part of the contents using javascript or other ways to
insert dynamic html source.

I'd like to be able to view the source actually being displayed, instead of the
<script url="foo"></script> tag that generated it.

Of course this is not "better" than the way it's done now, just an alternative
way of viewing the source, i.e. it should be optional to the user what
representation he or she wants to see.
