The artwork provided here is of poor quality providing neither intended scale, spacing, color depth, etc. A small example diagram is an insufficient definition. For example, are the dimensions of the borders absolute Or do they scale with page size Also, some of the images, such as ‘apples’ or ‘balloons3Colors’ show copying artifacts, where extraneous lines or blotches appear.
Proposed resolution: Part 4, section 2.18.4 states: "Art borders, which specify a repeated image to be used when drawing a border around the specified object." The art borders are images. Their size can only be changed but not the color depth etc as in case of any other image. The dimensions of the border are absolute with respect to page size. The extraneous lines or blotches can be corrected on preparation of a final Specification document. If there is any way to specified it in a way that allows a proper reproduction by any conforming consumer, it should be done.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment DE-0094 (Modified: 2008-01-13) Agreed; the following changes will be made: The following text will be added to Part 4, §2.18.4, page 1,631, below line 19: For art borders, each border definition is specified by the combination of eight images, as follows: For the edge borders (top, bottom, left, and right), the border image is repeated as necessary to span the distance between the two intersecting corners. Electronic definitions of each piece of border art are included in Annex G. Each border in Part 4, §2.18.4 will be rewritten in the following consistent style (using two examples to illustrate): Enumeration Value Description apples (Apples Art Border) Specifies an art border using the following images: All Sides: … moons (Moon Art Border) Specifies an art border using the following images: Top: Bottom: Left: Right: Top Left: Top Right: Bottom Left: Bottom Right: A new Annex will be added to Part 4, which provides electronic copies of each component of each border in ISO 15948 (PNG) format.
