Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-borders] allow multiple borders (#13044)

> I also want this feature for the assistive technology use case. So I assume that if we choose to adopt border lists, that also applies to `outline`?

Yes, `outline` is easier to figure out than `border`, so if we figure that out, `outline` is trivial to listify in a similar way after.

> We use the `box-shadow` hack on the BBC website, as well, for producing a double outline on focused elements. But we still have to use the `outline` property so that the outline is still visible in forced colours/high contrast mode. Forced colours mode removes box shadows. And having to use both `outline` and `box-shadow` just to make a double colour outline feels nasty.

That's a good point — I believe some UAs also remove shadows in print.
