There are large differences between line style and border style.
Border styles are written to ODF file as fo:border attribute. The definition
refers to XSL and that refers to
https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#value-def-border-style. Styles are defined
by keywords: none, hidden, dotted, dashed, solid, double, groove, ridge, inset,
outset. OOXML uses keywords (27!) too, see section 18.18.3 ST_BorderStyle
(Border Line Styles) in ISO/IEC 29500-1:2016(E). These styles are applicable to
text portions, tables and pages.
The line styles are written to ODF as <draw:stroke-dash> element. Graphical
objects have the styling aspects "stroke" for their lines and "fill" for their
area. Line styles format the "stroke". They are only applicable to objects,
which have a "stroke". Similar in OOXML, there it is the custDash or prstDash
element. The OOXML preset styles are labeled: solid, dot, dash, lgDash,
dashDot, lgDashDot, lgDashDotDot, sysDash, sysDot, sysDashDot and sysDashDotDot
in file format (not in UI). Their metric is illustrated in L.4.8.5.2 Line Dash
Properties in the OOXML spec.

So "border line styles" never work for "drawing line styles". Of cause you will
have styles in both systems, that look similar.
