smaller size than what is customary for web browsers

This smart group displays all CSS rules that do not match any HTML element in the currently
viewed HTML file.

Known Issues
- Changes made to the DOM by interacting with web content are not reflected in the HTML View
- Due to a bug in Mac OS X (WebKit), printing of source code can sometimes lead to unexpected results.
This problem occurs in particular when the formatted source contains exceedingly long lines.
- Frames and CSS3 selectors are not yet supported
Acknowledgments
We would like to thank Dan Donaldson and Neil Lee
for helping us work-around a severe bug in Mac OS X that on rare system configurations
could cause most undesirable blurring when scrolling (screenshot).
Dan introduced us to Neil who in turn shared a clever workaround from the creator of
Cocoatech's Path Finder.
Thanks to Dan, Neil, and Steve!
