One thing I'd avoid making the default is any anti-aliasing that results in 
the border needing more room. I'd allow anti-aliasing pixels to be in the 
rounded corners because that wouldn't require the box to have greater width 
or height or the content to have a smaller margin (except at the rounded 
corner), but I wouldn't want an extra, lighter side border to be created to 
blend better with a corner's anti-aliasing pixel, unless the author 
specifies it.
