IMO that's due to the specification. When a user wants to align the 
sides of controls, then he wants the *visible* edges aligned. The 
additional spacing instead is based on the idea of *cells*, which exceed 
the visual parts of the controls. Now tell whether the alignment is 
based on the control sides with or without border spacing? :-(
