It is not just colour information that one may want to insert.
Here are some more instances in support of boojums (using pdfTeX , not XeTeX).
A.
For tagged PDF you may need to tag individual characters with attributes for accessibility and Copy/Paste, such as to get the PDF page-contents stream looking like:
/Span <</Alt(...)/ActualText<FFEF....> >> BDC
... normal TeX-placed material ...
EMC
\pdfliteral page {.... } can provide the extra PDF coding lines,
but this is 2 extra boojums for each actual character in the math list.
B.
I'm currently writing a paper describing a method to attach tooltips to mathematical symbols and expressions. After setting the chunks in boxes for measuring, this ultimately puts
\pdfannot ....
into the math-stream.
To not affect spacing, this would need to be a boojum surely.
I can supply instances where spacing has changed, by an extra thin space.
Sometimes placing extra {...} avoids this extra space, other cases require a \! to fix.

Is there a good tool or TeXnique that lets one see the contents of a math-stream, after all macros are processed, and during the internal page-construction stage?
I'd like something a bit better than just examining box contents after using \tracingall .
Cheers,
Ross
