I'm working on some rendering stuff that will fix some of the things
that look strange to North American eyes.  I'm not ready to show it yet,
but borders are certainly on the list.  

We'll end up with, at worst, a style that we can run on our own sites
that will make North America look right-ish.  At best, when regional
rendering is supported (?) the "Can-Am style" can be rolled out right
away.  

Best regards,
