View parented object's actual transformations under the item tab
When one selects a parented object, it's original transformations are displayed in the properties/item panel, even when it's parent is transformed (moved, rotated, scaled) the child's new location, rotation and scale are not reflected in the displayed values. Example: object "Child" is created at 0,0,0 and is parented to an empty "Papa" also at 0,0,0. Papa is moved and child follows at 10,10,10 but the displayed location of Child is still 0,0,0.
I propose that transformation is reported both ways with a button that toggles between "Local" and "Transformed" , much in the way locations of vertices/edges/faces are displayed in edit mode.

Having world space transforms show alongside local transforms would be nice indeed.
