[webkit-help] Function to know if an element is inline/Block/replaced/inlineblock/

That would give part of the answer. replaced is not a valid value for
style for example but depends on the RenderObject's type.

Yes they are as we need those information internally. I concur that
showRenderTree is super useful to dig into the render tree.

You can know the type of renderer by calling renderName() on it. This
will give you the class name and (maybe) some information about
whether it's anonymous, generated...

Now the information about how you should behave (inline/block...) are
attached to RenderObject. Look for the isInline() / isRenderBlock() /
isReplaced() / ... methods.

Hope it helps,
