Here's a screenshot that shows the problem. There's always a misplaced
line in the output (most of the time a[href^=tel] { }), no matter
where in the file the changes are.
Sometimes it's even in the wrong position, above the @@ numbers.

I'd naturally expect the a[href^=tel] part to not show up at all
unless I make changes there.
