It would be nice to be able to reuse all the Web Inspector stuff to enable
debugging a remote web browsing session.  One use case is mobile, for instance,
debugging a browser session on an iPhone, Android, Palm, etc sort of device.

The basic idea is that the remote browser would need to have a gesture to enter
debug mode, and would need to provide an address to the machine running the
debug client which will actually be displaying a Web Inspector window. 
Presumably, the debug client is just a WebKit-consuming web browser.  It would
need a way to indicate it was willing to accept debug connections (or perhaps
connect TO a remote session) from a debug target.  Once connected, Web
Inspector would work as it does today for a local window, but be proxying the
work to the debug target running remotely.

Discuss.
