This doesn't address the problem: border-break allows me to complete a
border of a surrounding element. I want borders *between* elements,
*except* at the top/bottom of a column.
It seems that border-break would work *iff* there was a 'collapsing
borders' style for non-table elements, so that I could override the
borders of the contained elements (eg, <li>) with border-break: none.
