Thanks for the encouragement... Early findings: 1) I am enjoying using border attributes linked to tags. Using a tag to style the tiddler, and then hiding the tag. The tag itself seems like overkill - too much information. 2) While the tag is //sometimes// too much, other times it would be useful. Maybe a field to style a border might be better 3) I am struggling to get the animations in Mario's link [1] where the x:link is used to select the class of the svg - it might be one of those ccasions when you look at something to so long you can't see a basic error 4) fractal type pattern -- like ferns -- look very spectacular in borders when they become small repeated components.
