I like the descriptions given by GW Micro's Vocal-Eyes. They described line and box cornercharacters pretty well. I can get out there and see if I can get their descriptions for an example. Things like "upper left", "upper right", ... for single stuff; "double upper left", "double upper right", ...; "double center with single down", "double center" might be double lines crossing each other in the middle of a diagram. A general guide might be to specify double only when a line is double and otherwise "line" could be single by implicit default. I hope this makes sense.
