The trouble with fancy borders is the difficulty of specifying them right and of implementing them. But most of what page authors are doing is using background images to achieve the effect, inserting extra elements to have the necessary frames to attach them to. So here's an alternate proposal: Leave image borders for a later draft. Publish backgrounds and borders without image borders but *with a way of specifying multiple backgrounds on a single element*. It should be relatively easy to specify and to implement, and we'll get the CSS3 backgrounds and borders properties out sooner, which is needed. ~fantasai -- http://fantasai.inkedblade.net/contact
