in addition to the legal document reasons listed there are many other reasons
dashed/dotted lines are important, for instance I work in phonology and in the
theoretical framework of Optimality Theory it is crucial to have dotted lines in
our tables (or Tableaux as they are referred to).

I would also like to point out how silly it is that in the pop-up box that has
all the table-formatting buttons, both the line styles and border styles buttons
have icons depicting both solid and dashed lines.  Very frustrating to click
these buttons with high hopes after each new version of OpenOffice only to be
re-disappointed to find only strange combinations of lines with varying 
thickness.

for years now I have had to resort to getting rid of the border where i need a
dashed line and inserting a dashed line object.  this is not particularly easy
to anchor and get to the right dimensions as to not protrude from the table
boundaries, etc. (add a row or column to your table and you have to redo all
your dashed lines, and so on).

this issue has occasionally made me question my unconditional support for
openoffice for years now because it's such a minor issue that just continues to
not be addressed, and I hope it gets fixed soon!
