An extra option on the "style" menu to filter out (not show) styles
that have been overridden would make css debugging a lot smoother
because sometimes there are are lot of elements (especially if you
have a reset.css) that have been overridden and I don't want to scroll
though all the elements of whats 'not' been applied, sometimes I don't
care and just want to see what 'is' applied.

Wish I could attach a screen shot which very aptly highlights this
need, but suffice to say this small option would make a big difference
to usability in a number of cases. Obviously you'd want to be able to
turn it off/on ;)

It could be put in the menu next to "expand shorthand properties"

pages of this sort of thing could be excluded:

html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6,
p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del,
dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub,
sup, tt, var, b, u, i, center, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form,
label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
font-size:100%;
}
reset.css (line 1)

I like the idea, could you please report a new issue for this so, it's
not forgotten here in the noise?
