I don't think so, because it creates different author expectations of performance. If authors use a masking feature, they're more likely to expect a substantial performance hit than for a border feature. Then again, maybe authors should expect substantial performance hits for borders; they're often pretty slow. -David -- 𝄞 L. David Baron http://dbaron.org/ 𝄂 𝄢 Mozilla http://www.mozilla.org/ 𝄂
