One point I came across while reading it: if we are goiung to have
adjustable border styles (i.e. border.style,) we should consider the
following possibilities:
________________
| ______________ Thin border inside thin border
| |
________________
|
| ############# Thick border inside thin border
| #
################
#
# ############# Thick border inside thick border
# #
################
#
# ___________
# |
(Tin-0in-thick)
(eh, in.)
we should consider adjustable interborder spacing, and also spacing
between borders and the text blocks they affect... although the latter can
probably be set using the text container's margins.
(I know this is somewhat divergent from the topic at hand, but it deals
with a related issue: where around an item is the border drawn, and how
are overlaps resolved.)
