Normally shorthand properties such as background can be
expressed equivalently using multiple individual properties.
For example
A {background: red fixed repeat-x}
is equivalent to
A {background-color: red;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat: repeat-x}
This is not true however for some of the border properties. For example
LI {border-right: thin double blue}
cannot be expressed using individual properties because there are no
border-right-style or border-right-color properties (while there is
a border-right-width).
Is this difference in model intentional? Is it going to stay this way?
Thanks,
Neil

P.S. The fact that the border-style values could be repeated up to 4
times was
omitted from the syntax portion of the doc, but was in the description
portion.
