OK, let me contrast your and my conception: In you opinion no border
indicates, that there's just client in the tag, but I think the border
should be omitted if there's just one client visible (of course there
can be multiple in the tag).

In tiled layout we both mean the same, in monocle our conceptions are
different, because you want the border to be an indicator of the number
of clients in the tag. So the border functions in monocle not as a
separator, but instead as an number indicator.
