When using Firebug you can use the console object to log debug information to the javascript console. For example: console.log('debug information'); We could use the same API for a similar purpose.
Personally, I think we should go beyond that and basically replace the javascript console from the debug menu and integrate that into the inspector
Yes, we plan to make console.log work with the new inspector.
Matt: yes. In case my original description was not clear enough. I was talking about the console of the Web Inspector. Not the old Javascript console that can be enabled in the Debug menu. If you manually log messages they should appear in the Web Inspector console.
Bug 14354 is about supporting the entire Firebug console API. This bug should be about just getting console.log moved.
