Section 4. Similar to I18N-ISSUE-340, should there be a border-start-* and border-end-* set of keywords, allowing one to control the leading/trailing edge of borders dependent on the container direction?

Do you mean like logical borders? We already have all these properties:

• border-block, border-inline, border-block-start, border-block-end, border-inline-start, border-inline-end
• border-block-width, border-inline-width, border-block-start-width, border-block-end-width, border-inline-start-width, border-inline-end-width
• border-block-style, border-inline-style, border-block-start-style, border-block-end-style, border-inline-start-style, border-inline-end-style
• border-block-color, border-inline-color, border-block-start-color, border-block-end-color, border-inline-start-color, border-inline-end-color
• border-start-start-radius, border-start-end-radius, border-end-start-radius, border-end-end-radius

Note that the mapping uses the writing mode of the element itself, not the one of the container.

Should we close this issue now?

Yup.
