I agree. It would be very useful design-wise to be able to have a column-rule-like border that extends through several slots, even if they were auto-sized due to content in some other slot. It would also be nice to have the option of having collapsed borders. Wouldn't this be relatively simple if each slot was just display:table-cell?
