What's the use case of the current definition? I mean, can we actually
change the definition here instead of creating a new keyword? If the
only concern is about existing contents that query the value of
border-color via getComputedStyle, can we tweak the algorithm for
getComputedStyle instead?

I noticed that browsers currently implement the specced behavior for,
say, cases that combine 'fill' and 'color', but is this behavior
actually desirable? In any case, I think CSS4 Color should introduce
either an example use case or a note that explains this rather
surprising result.
