It does.

As I mentioned, we don't expose DOM handles in the extensions API: You can't highlight "nodes" in case you don't have "nodes" references / handles. Extensions extend the front-end, while nodes are running in the backend. We are using DOM node handles (WebInspector.DOMNodes) internally, but they are not exposed to the extensions.
