I disagree with you on the semantics of this one.

A bevel is a type of border, one that gives the impression of being 
raised from or set into a surface.

A border is just something that surrounds/expands upon the edge of an 
area.  It does not have to be a single colour, nor a uniform width.

 From dictionary.com, the definition of border:
    1. A part that forms the outer edge of something.
    2. A decorative strip around the edge of something, such as fabric.
    3. A strip of ground, as at the edge of a garden or walk, in which
       ornamental plants or shrubs are planted.
    4. The line or frontier area separating political divisions or
       geographic regions; a boundary.

At best, bevel will end up being a proxy to the borders available for a 
theme.  Is it really needed?  Is it really wanted?

<bevel form="up" thickness="1" />
<border name="bevel1up" />

I'm not fussed, I just thought it was a little unecessary to keep bevel 
given the new border code (which I'm working on at the moment).
