I've just checked with Chrome, Firefox & IE on both XP & Win7 (Chrome
only on 7), and in all 5 cases I do see the border, icon on the ad
itself, and the "Advertisement" label (example attached).

Or are we arguing over whether all 4 sides are bordered vs. just two?
In which case, as long as the label "Advertisement" is still there,
isn't the message clear?
