I'm not sure how important that requirement is relative to the implentation costs of the extra piece of syntax and handling another case that can cause pieces of an element to appear outside the element's border box. (Or, to put it another way, is the desire for things that stick out really specific to border-image, or is it just a general issue that ought to be solved by negative margins?) I presume that if the part after the first slash is omitted, the border image slices would still be resized as they are now to fit the 'border-width' property? -David -- L.
