CSS requires you to do that in plenty of other places (e.g. if you make your border 1px wider you have to make the element it's on 2px narrower.)

If you set box-sizing: border-box [1], you don't need to worry about the latter.

Even without border box you can achieve that quite easily (since the conceptual border-box 100% is the default for blocks); you simply need more wrapper elements.
