Because I am looking over an edge and I can see one side of a big rock, but not the other. The passage shape makes me think that this is a rock not a wall so the part I can see is 'rock border', but the part where it goes out of sight would be drawn as 'presumed rock border' - ie "- - -" with correct line thickness. Or I can see along a passage and one side is wall, the other is a big boulder. I cannot see beyond so both sides need to be drawn as 'presumed continuation', but it looks wrong if the rock side suddenly changes line thickness to be a wall at the point it becomes presumed. (this would be the case if I followed your suggestion above). Also what about the situation where the wall is made of blocks - so now it is 'wall, subtype blocks', but I also want to make it 'presumed' at the point I cannot see. I don't think we can have two subtypes, but there should be a way to draw this...(this illustrates what I mean about reviewing walltypes and subtypes.
