So you should be for "border: thin solid red" resetting a 
"border-radius: 50%" then.
And you should be for "font: 20px Times New Roman" resetting 
"font-size-adjust: 0.545" then.

I think it should be renamed, it should use an identifier better 
describing what it does and what it can do. How about "border-box-layer" 
or "image-box-layer"?
