 I'm using the current development version (2.0development.6) and this
 doesn't appear to have been implemented yet.

 I think it would be useful if, when you click a ruleset name in the HTTPS
 Everywhere Preferences window, the ruleset would be displayed in a
 resizeable lower pane.

 Since rulesets are more complex than http->https, this is the only way to
 know what a given ruleset actually does.

 One can dig the ruleset out of the appropriate file, or look it up in the
 git repository, but being able to view it immediately in the browser is
 more efficient.

 The rulesets also come from multiple different files in different places,
 so it would be helpful to display the pathname to the file a particular
 ruleset comes from in the lower pane as well.  At the moment, if you
 didn't remember where it was from, you'd have to check every file in your
 rulesets directories until you found it.
