Fix what?

For every rule, DOM Inspector reports the url of the stylesheet the rule 
came from and the line number that the rule started on in that 
stylesheet.  Felix seems to be complaining that if the stylesheet has no 
newlines then this information is clearly insufficient to actually find 
the rule in the stylesheet, which is of course true.  Then again, I'm 
not sure why he needs find the rule in the stylesheet...
