 Because the `post_submitbox_misc_actions` filter is hooked at the end of
 outputting the `misc-publishing-actions` div, the element with a class of
 `misc-pub-section-last` might not actually be the last item in the meta
 box.

 Therefore, I would propose that instances of `misc-pub-section-last` be
 removed and that a class of `misc-pub-section-first` be added to the first
 element in each of those instances. Then, the border-bottom style
 definitions would be changed to border-top, instead.

 That way, no matter how many new elements are added below the last static
 element in the metabox using the `post_submitbox_misc_actions` filter, the
 borders will always be correct (since no filters/actions are called before
 the first element is output into either of the metaboxes that use that
 class).

 It looks like these changes would effect:
 * /wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php
 * /wp-admin/edit-form-comment.php
 * /wp-admin/css/wp-admin.dev.css
 * /wp-admin/css/wp-admin.css
 * /wp-admin/css/wp-admin-rtl.dev.css
 * /wp-admin/css/wp-admin-rtl.css

 Are there valid reasons why this change shouldn't/couldn't be made? If
 not, I'll work on a patch to make this change and see what it looks like.
 Thank you.
