It controls whether there is a border at all. So the right non-normative summary is: > > These properties control whether a border appears, and if it does > what style it's drawn in. A border-image will override the style, > but not whether a border appears in the first place. That's much better! I've written it in as These properties control whether a border appears, and if it does what style it's drawn in (if it is not overridden by a <a href="#border-images">border image</a>). > At least I assume this text is meant to be non-normative. It's not actually marked that way, but if it's meant to be normative I'm not sure what it's supposed to really be saying in a normative sense. It's meant to provide an overview of what the property does. It is normative, but more fully described in the prose below. ~fantasai
