I must disagree -- the FO spec is quite clear: border properties, both
style and width, are *not* inherited, unless of course you explicitly use
value "inherited". If they are beeing propagated, it is a clear bug.

As to the misalignment, I also fail to understand why the header border
gets to be drawn narrower than the cell border which is contained in it. I
thought borders should be drawn inside the elements area rectangle, but I'm
not sure. If they're supposed to be centered in the area limits, this would
explain the effect. Even if I define a border-left for the header, the cell
border still overlaps it. See the attached files with colored borders.

Can anyone shed a light on the subject?
