Hmmm on the other hand, there's already a face `border', with a
different meaning (for setting the X border pixel color).

The name `vertical-border' seems slightly strange too -- the word
"border" seems to typically imply an "outer" border, dividing inside
from outside; calling the line between windows a border sounds
slightly strange to me (though it's technically correct I guess).

Maybe it would be better to keep the face-name as `vertical-divider',
and also change the name of the display-table slot to match (it's easy
to provide a backward-compatibility alias for that).

What do other people think?
