We should probably add two keywords: shape-outside and shape-inside. 

But shape-inside sets the contours of the content area, and normally I’d 
expect the border would be drawn out from the shape-inside edge (so the 
border doesn’t collide with the content). For the round display case I 
think you want the shape-inside to define the edges of the display, so 
you’d want the border to be drawn from the shape-inside edge inward. In 
this case the content area should be further reduced to account for the 
border. I’m not sure how to reconcile these two cases.

Thanks,

Alan
