Description

The elements "border", "width" and "height" in

1. https://maven.apache.org/doxia/doxia-sitetools-archives/doxia-sitetools-1.11.1/doxia-decoration-model/decoration.html#class_bannerLeft
2. https://maven.apache.org/doxia/doxia-sitetools-archives/doxia-sitetools-1.11.1/doxia-decoration-model/decoration.html#class_bannerRight
3. https://maven.apache.org/doxia/doxia-sitetools-archives/doxia-sitetools-1.11.1/doxia-decoration-model/decoration.html#class_item

have a very vague description (same in renamed doxia-site-model https://maven.apache.org/doxia/doxia-sitetools/doxia-site-model/site.html ).

It should be clarified with regards to whether
1. this is the format of the same named CSS properties (https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#border-properties, https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#the-width-property and https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#the-height-property)
2. or the HTML4 attributes (https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#h-13.7.1 and https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#h-13.7.3)
3. or another custom format.

Currently the skins use the values as-is for either CSS property or HTML attribute, but although they are named the same, the supported values differ a lot.

This came up in the context of https://github.com/apache/maven-fluido-skin/pull/23#discussion_r866169720.
