This sugestion gets my vote. Simple enough that it could be implemented without major work, transparent enough for people debugging, but making the REQUEST object more accessible to non-experts. I like!

Yes, I think you are right about collapsible trees getting in the way when debugging. Where trees are useful is when you don't know what you are looking for, i.e. newbies trying to understand Zope, so I think there's still a case for it.
A short introduction (with link to the help system?!) and a small TOC with local links into the request at the top of the REQUEST representation may be more useful than a clickable tree. And easier to implement, too :)
