Loosing the ability to apply apply attributes to many positions at once is a no
go for sure. Not 'doubtful' at all ;-)

The point is that don't see why how this should be a problem. at least in my
'model'. Which I attempted to described in comment 20/22. Except you possibly
one click extra being needed. To press the select all borders template. Prior
to application of border style. This could even be removed, however there might
be some negative side-effects).

The interactive dialog isn't necessary per se. It can also be written
description. Simply to clarify, and making sure the dialog isn't bound to much
by a certain workflow. 

-
Enabling/disabling borders must be untangled from selection. And you might need
border selection templates (selecting existing borders) and border enabling
templates (next to manual selection/enabling/disabling)

With issue - overlap cases where 'border selecting template' includes borders
which are disabled. Where my logic would go, what isn't there can't be
selected. 

But well you can also say, the template is selected, and border modified, it
should be applied to previously un-enabled border.

[And at this point the desire for undo comes to mind] Reset does reset all
changes.. Mostly you want to go one step back.  However this bit of an problem
with the overall design of dialogs. This type is undo rather specific (or maybe
it isn't)?
