Adjusting the xy would really mess things up.

You now what, this border thing with IE, DOM and NS4
is really taking up a lot of time. I think I'll only
implement borders using layers. If a user needs CSS
support then they'll have to implement that on there
own. IMO I believe CSS borders should work the same
way table borders do... the border (padding,etc)should
be part of the width/height of the element.  So
elm.style.width="100px" will remain 100px even with a
border of 4px.
