Unfortunately this doesn't dash well at the top or bottom, because of  
the adaptive refinement.  Since Line doesn't currently support  
VertexColors, Plot with a ColorFunction generates a bunch of line  
segments, each with a specific color.   Then the dashing is applied  
to each of those segments individually, instead of to the plot as a  
whole.
