Per spec, yes.
Imho, though, that's counterintuitive. Perhaps the spec could write that
the *used* value (as opposed to the computed value) of a 'none' or
'hidden' border is zero.
So, the description for 'none' would be (see issue 196)
> No border; the used value of the border width is zero.
and the "'0' if the border style is 'none' or 'hidden'" part of the
border-width property definition table would be removed.
