Because of the DOM, there is a need for an explicit name for the default value of the border-color property. This would also be useful on its own. There is no possible value to return for getPropertyValue("border-color") [1] of a ruleset containing "border: medium solid", since this value is not expressable on its own. There should be a keyword such as 'use-color' or 'default' that is equivalent to the default value of the border-color property [2]. This change should be an erratum to CSS2 since the DOM Level 2 is being based on CSS2.
