when reading large tables or lists,
the categories disappear while scrolling down (or left-right). . .
is it possible to create split window panes, like in excel . . .

Reproducible: Always

This is probably in the hands of the web author. <thead> and <tbody> are intended
for exactly this purpose, as is XUL.

Tabs (opening the same page twice) maybe overkill for handling your specific
request, but is a solution for many problems of this type

You might, as a web reader, be able to do something creative with your user
stylesheet. 

I would like to have the content area as a split pane window, because I
would like to use the second pane for "View selection source" - rather
like Reveal Codes in WordPerfect.

I would be interested to know how you get on, if you take this any further,
and would add that the reader's wishes and browsing situation should
take precedence over the author's.

It is really an enhancement request rather than a bug.
