I wouldn't call this standard, but you can put something like this in 
a custom module:

function MY_MODULE_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
   if($form['#id'] == 'MY_CONTENT_TYPE') {
     $debugging = ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '111.222.333.444') ? 1 : 0;
     if($debugging) {
       echo "<textarea cols=150 rows=20 style='font-size: 10px;'>";
       echo "\n" . htmlentities(print_r($form,1));
       echo '</textarea>';
     }
   }
}

Replace "MY_MODULE" with your module name.  Replace "MY_CONTENT_TPE" 
with your content type.  Replace "111.222.333.444" with your own IP address.

This will spit out a big textbox full of the form data, that only you can see.
