That sounds pretty forced.  Ideally I'd like to rename the current
`border' face to something like `frame-border' (which is more
accurate), but I don't know if it's worth the trouble.

Technically that may be true, but I don't think most users perceive it
that way -- the vertical dividers only ever show up between pairs of
windows, and are not linked to either one; they really do act like
"dividers".  Contrast this with mode/header-lines, which show up with
single windows, and are clearly connected with their window.

However, I don't really care very much and Richard likes
vertical-border better, so I'll use that.
