I'll add a design document. We discussed implementing the debug agent /
protocol adapter in Javascript, but it seemed cleaner to stick to a native
implementation.

I am in favor of cleaning up Web Inspector's backend interface so that it would
be easier to support different debuggers, including:
1) Web Inspector in-process
2) Web Inspector remote (e.g., via HTTP)
3) Chrome Dev Tools protocol (with V8 debug)
4) Aptana via Chrome Dev Tools protocol
5) Dreamweaver

I have a prototype of Web Inspector remoted via HTTP using Qt/Webkit 4.6. I
would be happy to post that patch.

I have the beginnings of Chrome Dev Tools protocol with the V8 debugger
protocol. You can attach the debugger, set and clear breakpoints, and I am
working on the backtrace command. It is a work in progress, but I would be
happy to attach that patch as well.
