- Expose the box model to the html programmer by visually showing the boxes that elements are contained within
- allow changing of padding, margin and border properties directly instead of through property sheets
- automatically calculate the minimal set of properties required to specify the box model built by the user. Eg, if a child and its parent element have the same property, bubble the property up an dinherit it.
- Allow abilty to specify "global" overflow and containment of elements directly instead of through interacting css properties.
- Allow views of the model with no content, some content and a lot of content directly, so that the model can be stress tested.
