Good point.

Asthetics is such a fickle thing. :)

I suggest the separator for two reasons:
1) It's not so clear to my eye that the two lists aren't related in some
way.

but more for:

2) It distracts from the fact that the two lists are asymetrical.

I think that if Resolution is outdented, that will be somewhat less of an
issue.

Also, a separator was what was clearly suggested in earlier drafts of the
HIG for this exact kind of case, although that language seems to have been
watered down to something to the effect of add a separator if you need one
in the current version.
