<pre>I apologize if my previous comment has offended you.
The reason I don't want to call it a regression is because I don't see any
definitive standard we can adhere to in this case. So it is worth discussing
this instead of blindly following what the original behavior is.
I can see two possible courses of action:
1. Follow acrobat: ignore /Border when /BS is present. This leads to a
(default) 1px border rendered in your pdf.
2. Preferentially use values from /BS but also use values from /Border if the
corresponding values are not present in /BS. This would cause no border to be
rendered in your pdf.
The second one seems like the more logical thing to do but the first option
makes for better compatibility.
I personally think maintaining compatibility with acrobat is the better option,
but I can also see why it would be a good idea to just try make the most sense
of of the pdf.</pre>
