I propose to simplify this and limit the values to HAIRLINE, THIN,

This should not be such a big problem because until 3.6 at least the
UI behaved in a similar way due to a bug.

i don't think that is enough - users may want to import existing
documents from OOo or MS Office and create new borders in them that
match the existing ones in the document; so it would probably be a good
idea to offer those widths which these applications can easily set in
the UI, which is a bit more than 3 of each style.

Restricting sounds good, but pay attention with Word and Excel: they
have different sets of possible borders & width (Word had quite a lot
more) and as Michael wrote it, we need to keep being compatible with
both of them (and legacy borders) which is quite a mess.
