I think what he wants is an export function - the number one requested feature
for all debuggers in any browser. The ability to export the current markup,
javascript and CSS to a file.

The ticket probably needs a more generic title though and a better explanation.
I had a couple of ideas on this already, obviously it's a  tricky problem to
solve. Many people simply want to hack some code and change some styles, then
hit the "Save" button to save the files back onto their drive.

Two things here:

1) A basic export. Take the computed DOM representation and transform it back
into linear markup+style, then offer as download. Should be doable.

2) Detect if local files are opened (file://) - if yes, show a save button that
matches the computed and altered code back to the original source. Extremely
difficult because the DOM isn't static - however, it could work out for CSS
(external) and by tracking portions of the markup not altered by JavaScript.
