Summary Web Inspector: Unhide hidden characters

It would be nice if inspector could make hidden characters (like ‎ ‏ ‌ ‍   ...) visible and show them to web developer for better debugging. You can see list of hidden characters on http://getfirebug.com/developer/api/firebug1.6X/symbols/src/content_firebug_lib.js.html line 2186 to 2194.

For example in Wikipedia, we have some pages that using rle instead of zwnj. It would be great if with inspector we can detect this misuses.
