[...] 8.5.1 (Border width) says: # The border width properties specify the width of the border area. # The properties defined in this section refer to the <border-width> # value type, which may take one of the following values: # # [...] # <length> # The border's thickness has an explicit value. Explicit border # widths cannot be negative. It's not clear what an implementation should do when it encounters a specified negative value.
