I've just discovered that the default stroke for a text frame has a 1 point stroke colored "none". This is actually impossible to set up in the UI if you wanted to, but that's what it defaults to.

It came up as I was writing a script to shrink text frames vertically. I ended up having to test the color:



tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
	set oldvertprefs to vertical measurement units of view preferences of document 1 
	set vertical measurement units of view preferences of document 1 to points 
	set theFrame to item 1 of selection 
	tell theFrame 
		set theBounds to visible bounds of it 
		set theBase to baseline of line -1 of it 
		set theStroke to stroke weight of it 
		set theColor to name of stroke color of it 
		if theColor = "None" then set theStroke to 0 
		set theInset to inset spacing of text frame preferences of it 
		if class of theInset is list then 
			set theInset to contents of item 3 of theInset 
		end if 
		set item 3 of theBounds to theBase + theStroke + theInset 
		set visible bounds of it to theBounds 
	end tell 
	set vertical measurement units of view preferences of document 1 to oldvertprefs 
end tell
