Comment (by ryelle):

 Styling for Help. I ended up pulling the help tab styling out of wp-
 admin.css & putting it into admin-bar.css, since it made sense to move.
 There are still rough edges here - it's not responsive in the slightest,
 the content doesn't scroll if your browser is short, and needs browser
 testing.

 Replying to [comment:23 koopersmith]:
 > In this particular situation, I think adding the help and screen options
 panel outside of the admin bar div is a valid option. Since the admin bar
 is visible on the front end, we're exceptionally aggressive with its CSS.
 Attempting to override it all will likely involve a world of pain.

 The admin bar CSS means I did have to redefine bold & italic tags for the
 help content, so it'd be great to not do that - but I don't understand how
 this would work. Taking the items out of the div basically takes them out
 of the bar, doesn't it? At least, it did when I tried.
