Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-borders] `@border-style` for custom border designs (#13280)

> I think the existing border styles should be non-overridable (like [drafts.csswg.org/css-counter-styles-3#non-overridable-counter-style-names](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-counter-styles-3/#non-overridable-counter-style-names)) to allow browsers to do their own special thing.

I haven't followed the discussions that led to that resolution, but IMO on the contrary, I think keyword values become much more useful if authors can override them. This applies to font families, system colors, and many other things, see #10948 . E.g. if a page uses `dashed` in a certain way, what's the point of having `dashed` resolve to some UA default instead? Far more useful to basically make it a design token.
