No issues with backwards compatibility to be expected here - custom values are
still possible.

My comments on attachment 59895:
Page 2-4 (Line dialog): Agree, should be implemented
Page 5-7 (Border dialog): Agree, should be implemented
Page 8: Including three different line styles in the Toolbar dropdown is
overkill and makes the dropdown hard to understand. Keep the dropdown as it is,
just add the "More ..." button at the bottom which opens the Border dialog.
Page 9: Out of scope. Would move that to a new task. Not sure if it's needed at
all.

For the line thickness choices, I would go with three defaults, as Milos
suggested (thin, medium, thick). Please use the same thickness values for these
as Excel uses, to improve compatibility (Excel also has three line
thicknesses). Default should be "thin".
See attachment 171302 for the choices Excel offers.
