That's understandable, and worded in such a way that it covers the  
combination of those two properties too.

One question: were we set on using "do not" instead of "may not"?  
Could there, for instance, be a mobile device that is able to draw  
curves, but only capture renctangular areas fir mouse events (or touch  
events). Or would a UA be non-complient if it did register clicks on  
border-image pixels outside the border-box, based on the alpha mask?
