thats not neccessarily the case..
border-left: 1px solid #abcdef;
border-right: 1px solid #abcdef;

i'm not going to dig for better examples since this is at the point  
of immediate dismissal.

well, yeah, what can't be. thats what i'm doing.. its just that  
adding a css generation step every time a change is made is sort of a  

substitution seems compact and simple enough to merit consideration.  
skip any typing, make everything strings...doesn't seem like that  
drastic of a change. as far as implementation goes, its not a  
rendering issue that ms could mess up...just a single pass substitution.

there is that demand for rounded corners though, so i understand if  
this doesn't make it in.
