The rules, yes. The result of all those rules on a single element, no! (If KDE 
3.1 could do this in the meantime, that would be really great.)

However, I suppose that KHTML does it somewhere for itself. So why can it not 
export it?

I am not writing that it is impossible. I just tell that it is not trivial. 
And I wonder why we must do again work that KHTMl does already for itself.

Have a nice day/evening/night!
