  If it's a sheet of triangles, then it has borders. At these borders triangles
don't share one of their edges with any other triangle.

Heh - KISS.

I'm also slightly assuming that meshes created from exported models will tend to
be closed (since they rarely have infinitely thin elements).

if it's a triangle sheet, wouldn't it only have one border?

  It depends. If you join two opposite edges of a sheet, you get then two
borders.
  In the case of a moebius strip there's only one contiguous border because
the sheet makes a 180 degrees turn before joining the two opposite edges.
