But it doesn't allow other color. My proposal would do any of these (inset|outset|outline), the latter being just a particularity (black/inherit) or a greater scheme (the would allow for instance this maroon/gold idea or any other) To sum it up, I think my idea do everything that font-effect does, plus more. - What is the status of CSS3? Can we propose new idea or just discuss about implementation, formulations... and express some ideas for "CSS4"? In other word, is the development in CSS3 "frozen"? Thanks -- David
