Muffins: Part 4, 2.18.4 ST_Border enumerates border styles and includes graphic images of the borders, including the “muffin” border. However, if the goal is faithful representation of legacy documents, the enumeration falls short of that goal. There is no specification of the actual graphics in SVG or other graphics language nor it is clear that the graphics in question are available for use by implementers of the proposal.

We note that the images are normative. Please clarify the requirements with respect to scaling, rotation, treatment in corners, etc. Consider providing these images in some standard graphics language form.
