In principle if we feel need of non strictly rectangular shapes for DOM elements then it should be more generic solution - some property that will take polygon/path - not just corner parts. Otherwise we will end up with border-corner-shape, border-top-shape, border-right-shape, inner-border-corner-shape, outer-border-corner-shape, outer-border-right-shape, - the whole zoo. -- Andrew Fedoniouk. http://terrainformatica.com
