I'm not sure what you mean by either of those. You are pretty much going
to have to use GIFs or PNGs, unless you want a javascript or moz only
solution.

What seems most elegant is to use background images. These have the
advantage of not getting in the way of the content, and being
positionable to whatever corner you wish, something damn hard to do
otherwise.

What make the most sense if you have variable width containers is to
have what is called "sliding doors". Essentially you have two divs and
one slides under the other as the width of the container is decreased.

I'm working out standardizing (for myself) techniques of stroked,
filled, and gradient with some kind of flourishes. I may post something
interactive in a day or two...
