When the topology error inspector reports errors it should include the size of the error for both line and area errors.
It is already displaying the line/polygon.
This would allow for better differentation of the type of error as well as its magnitude.
For example: Errors from a "Must Not Overlap" rule may return 1789 errors, 1769 are less than 1 square foot and and 20 are more substantial. There is no simple way, short of visiting each error, to find those 20 substantial errors.
