Controls for each pane's contents would be so great.

it's a little visually confusing when you are looking at CSS/Preview, but the header just shows CSS tab dropped down. And CSS/HTML are on the left (or bottom), but the CSS tab covers over the right top corner, disconnected from what it is actually showing.

My idea is that each pane has its own corner marker that says what its showing and is a pulldown to switch views.

For example, say I'm in split view and I see in each pane's corner a box that says what it's displaying--CSS and Preview. Then I can grab the pulldown in Preview to switch that view to HTML, so now I'm seeing CSS and HTML. This would clearly show what each pane is displaying and give users the ability to use any combo of views and orders.

Food for thought.
