Naming guidelines
+ shorter is better
+ general to specific: border-color-left, not border-left-color or left-border-color
+ don't refer to specific output format, e.g. PDF or HTML
+ consistency with CSS style property names is OK if the concept is mostly the same, but usually it's not
+ default value for any missing attr is #false
+ measurement units are points by default

;; border-inset values do not increase the layout size of the quad.
;; they are relative to the layout size of the quad, with inset values included.
;; this is different from CSS, where margin + padding increase the size of the layout.
;; one has to be dependent on the other, so a choice must be made.
;; I find this approach more sensible because
;; borders are a styling element, not a layout element.
;; this means that changing the inset values will change the position of the border.
;; but this is preferable to the CSS model, where moving the border changes the layout.
;; principle: minimize the number of values that affect the layout,
;; so it's easier to reason about programmatically.
