> The problem with showing the information in the styles panel is that you will not have an overview of all the named flows in the page.

Can you suggest a scenario where that would be really useful? I'm having trouble imagining one. I would think that when debugging, you'd be wondering either "Why isn't this element flowing into this region?" or "Why doesn't this region contain any content?".

> Also, by revealing another region from the same named flow (using the info in the styles pane), the styles pane is updated and it may be difficult to refocus on that named flow.

That's true. However, I think there are better ways to solve this problem. And, it's not impossible, only inconvenient.

> I think it is a good idea to extend the styles pane in the way you proposed, but we should also find a way to display the information from the drawer.

My feeling is that we should start with the minimal UI, and then consider making improvements after we get a better sense of how it is used. I think we should try to to add any more special-purpose panes unless it's absolutely necessary.

Pavel, what do you think?
