Spec says that Acrobat 2.0 ignores bx and by.  And a quick experiment
shows that Unix AcroRead 4 doesn't take them into account.  So it
seems that "don't care" is the right answer ;-).

Merz's is a book about the spec, not the spec.  The Border key is 
[bx by bw] or [bx by bw [d ...]], where [d] is an optional dash
