Yes, I also like this.

The vertical bar of the docbook styling is like indentation, but it's an
absolute visual cue, rather than a relative one, so it doesn't have a
problem with page flow.

A complete border breaks the vertical flow of the document with a
horizontal boundary.

Both the vertical bar and the complete border clearly demark the scope;
however, the complete border actually lends itself to readers skipping
the unit.

The subconscious reasoning is:
"Since the unit has been completely encapsulated and separated from the
text, it's obviously not necessary" SKIP

The human mind is designed with many subconscious processors that
discard information before it reaches the conscious mind. This makes
every day existence possible. Without it information overload would
occur within seconds. How many nerve endings are there in the human
body, each sending tactile information to the brain? How much of that
are we aware of from moment to moment? Generally only the flashing red
lights. Once you get shot three or four times your brain starts to
ignore those as well.

We emulate the action of the subconscious mind, which aids us in
processing information with scarce conscious attention resources, when
we use mail filtering rules.

So I would click "Like" on a vertical bar over the thin, rounded border;
but there wasn't one on the options page.
