I wouldn't ask a designer to work around our problems.
If two DynLayers are side by side in a simple containing
DynLayer. Giving the first a border dynamically would
push the other under the containers clip and messing up
the second DynLayers co-ordinates. Re: my previous
comment:

"Would we have to 'adjust' the dlyr x/y? What are the
coords of relative elements or when constructing a
widget and bordered elements need to touch?"

This is bad and what makes it even worse is that IE5x
will behave differently to IE4/6 and again differently to
DOM. This doesn't matter for one DynLayer widgets
as they animate over everything else.
