A border is a one color outline that gives a space definition or focus.

A bevel is a two color (top and left, bottom and right) outline that 
gives 'dimension'. The top-left color is given slight preference in the 
corners where it meets the bottom-right color. Bevels, depending on 
color, are raised or lowered.

A bevel widget can emulate a border widget by using only one color. If 
this is what you are proposing then perhaps we should rename the 
widget. I propose 'outline'.
