+# CSS3 borders
+CSS3 proposes additions to border rendering that are currently not expressible in Cairo. In particular, top/left/bottom/right borders can have different styles (color, line width) and the new border-radius property can do rounded corners. So a way to stroke a non-trivial dashed path with different patterns and line widths is required.

 # Implementation Considerations
 An interesting development related to this is the Pixel Bender toolkit (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Pixel_Bender_Toolkit) which allows bitmap effects and blend modes to be written in a GLSL derived pixel language that can be executed on the CPU or the GPU. There are rumours of it going to be open sourced. LLVM could be used to implement something similar while taking advantage of optimizations on multiple architectures.
