- modeltest issues
- nested layout margins
- dangling QStates
- Allow to overwrite/reset message handler
- Runtime attachable model test
- Show selection models properly
- Integration of Steve's proxy model tests and model test recorder
- Support style hints, layout spacing, sub-element rects
- Add QPaintBuffer paint introspection as done for QWidgets
- Allow to modify QStyleOption parameters
- Provide dummy widgets for styles that crash if the widget pointer is 0
- Model shows object rather than layout hierarchy
- a WebInspector/Firebug like QSS debugger
- Show signal/slot connections, and possibly also how often they are used
