"Yes they are - that why we've got view-source."

So, uhh, I tried to view-source on a gmail tab. A solid wall of code. There's nothing there meaningful, not like the web pages of 1999 used to be.

If you're telling me you can browse the wall of code on a site like gmail.com and learn new tips and tricks from it, well, pull the other one, it's got bells on.

oh come on, just use firebug or developer tools and the html tree tab: you have an entire inbrowser IDE for the webpage including even deminified JS
