I agree with Matthias. The purpose of a border is to separate one client from another. If there is only one client visible at a given time (i.e. monocle) then borders in my opinion are a waste of space. So borders should be set to 0 whenever the layout is monocle, regardless of the number of clients tagged under the selected tag(s).
