CSS does not force anything, except in a user style sheet in a
well-behaving browser.

I'm not sure why you would want to achieve that, since that would
effectively just make the border disappear and the element take wider
dimensions. So why don't you simply set width and height suitably?
You can set border-color: transparent, but a) this is not supported by IE,
and b) it makes the background of the enclosing element shine thru when it
works, since the background image, by definition, affects only the
element's content and padding, not the border.
