I believe that this should a more generic feature. We also want this for the scratchpad and any future "page centric" tools.

This tool is a "page centric" tool. It is not related to the inspector. So it should not live in Inspector UI (node centric tools).

Here is how I see it:

1) a "page centric" tool can live in a horizontal sidebar, vertical sidebar or in a window.

2) Firefox should be able to stack "page centric" tools next to each other (not just one sidebar placeholder). For example, we should be able to have, at the same time, the scratchpad and the style editor in 2 vertical sidebars (I'm not saying we should have this layout by default, but I think it has to be possible).

3) Sidebars (vertical or horizontal) should be created dynamically. Each tool should live in an iframe. Moving the iframe from a vertical sidebar to a horizontal sidebar, or to a window, should be seamless for the user.
Summary: Dock the Style Editor within the Inspector UI → Dock the Style Editor

This works pretty well. But bug 768229 needs to be fixed first before going further.
