To generate a method of determining ground-truth, we decided to modify* the Firefox (FF) browser to log all of the steps of the creation of the Content Tree (also called the DOM tree) [...] We have moved ahead with development (though have not yet finished it) and are (hopefully) very close to a working prototype. I was wondering if there was feedback on this method
Neat stuff!
(1) Looking at the DOM tree reminds me of Micah's paper from a few years back: "Validating Web Content with Senser" https://security.cs.georgetown.edu/~msherr/pubs.php
and (2) Be sure to check out the recent papers by the Berkeley group on this area, e.g. the "do you see what I see" paper and more recent ones: https://www1.icsi.berkeley.edu/~sadia/
