    Actually, it does, but it is not yet supported by XEP and I do not know
    when there will be support for it.

    The user can choose to set the conditionality of the border, and the
    default for conditionality is (as for all lengths) "discard".

    In the example flow below, setting the conditionality to "retain" is meant
    to retain the border at the start and end of reference areas as is true for
    the regions on the page.

    So no changes are needed from a specification perspective ... but I don't
    know when this will be on the list of changes for XEP.
