I like the border. ps.map is for plotting maps, and it's a good thing to
delineate where the extent of the available data is IMO. Feel free to try
and sell me on making it optional/sizeable, but don't get your hopes up.

One example (pushing it I know) is when using GRASS in place of a vector
graphics image-processing package when you don't want to have to
buy/install/learn how to use such a thing.
Something I found GRASS very useful for about a year ago was taking a poor
quality low-res JPEG mockup of a logo (for a student radio station),
thresholding, converting to vector, colourising and ending up with a nice
high-quality vector-based Encapsulated PostScript logo. The ps.map black
border really got in the way then.
