The excellent Web Developer extension provides this feature. Select
"View Source -> View Generated Source" and the source, as generated
from the current DOM, is displayed in a new tab or window.

Another alternative would be the "generated source" bookmarklet from
the equally excellent collection by Jesse Ruderman.

These should be helpful if you want to work on your own GM script too.
