I have found that these fieldsets look pretty good.

Go into your .info file and add
stylesheets[all][] = fieldsets.css to your styles.

Then create a fieldsets.css with

  /* Fancy 3D fieldsets */
  fieldset
  {
    _background: #EDEDED;
    _border-width: 0px;
    _border-right: 2px solid #C0C0C0;
    _border-bottom: 2px solid #C0C0C0;
    padding: 10px;
  }

  fieldset fieldset
  {
    _background: #f7f7f7;
    _border-width: 0px;
    _border-right: 2px solid #ddd;
    _border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;
    padding: 10px;
  }
  
  legend 
  {
    background: transparent;
    font-weight: bold;
    letter-spacing: .5px;
    color: #414141;
  }

  html:not([dummy]) fieldset
  {
    background: #EDEDED;
    border-width: 0px;
    border-right: 2px solid #C0C0C0;
    border-bottom: 2px solid #C0C0C0;
    clear: left;
  }
  
  html:not([dummy]) fieldset fieldset
  {
    background: #f7f7f7;
    border-width: 0px;
    border-right: 2px solid #ddd;
    border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;
    clear: left;
  }

I was wondering if we could get some feedback on adding these to Zen.

Personally, I don't like the look of these at all. Leaving taste aside, I don't think that Zen as a base/starter theme is in the business of looking fancy. I recommend against this, as this adds a specific look, which is precisely what Zen tries *not* to do.

Marking "by design" as that seems most appropriate in this case :-)
