I think the main problem with A is that it introduces transparent
gaps in the border for a style that, under normal circumstances,
is totally opaque.

For inset/outset transitions, since they're based on a 3D concept,
I think one should consider how that'd look if it were carved out
of metal.

Other than that, I have no opinion here. I've seen several options
that are all very interesting.

Spec is silent because the spec writer thinks it's better for the
implementors to experiment than to standardize here. :) There's no
obviously right answer to many of these transitions.
