Well, more than that, I think the Editor's Draft of Border-Break  
should be clear than border and padding are not the only things to be  
considered when a single element's box gets broken by a page break,  
column break, or, for inline elements, at a line break. There are also  
things like:

1. border-image,
2. box-shadow (including inset shadows),
3. border-radius

All of the above (and maybe others) could potentially have different  
answers based on if the value of the ‘border-break’ property is "none"  
or not, and should be dealt with in that section. In fact, has there  
been any discussion about combining "border-break" and "background- 
break"? It seems like the values of each would often be in tandem with  
each other. Thus, if I specified :background-break: each box", I would  
most likely also NOT want "border-break: none".

By the way, I can't really imagine setting a non-none value of color  
or width that did not match that of the relevant edge of the element  
as a whole. It seems to me that there should just be two values for  
border-break: none or each-box.
