I guess I'm not really convinced that the border-color value shouldn't be
the empty string. You're forgetting there is more than one way to get the
border-color value in the CSS object model - you can call getPropertyValue,
which would return an object with an empty string if the color had indeed
been set.
I'm not objecting to your reasoning, you understand - but the idea that we
have to go back to a property that has been essentially unchanged since CSS1
and insert a new value and call it an errata, well, that's a bit of a pain
for developers IMO.
