The Backgrounds and Borders draft[1] has a 'box-shadow' property, which 
can create similar effects. It's subject to 'z-index' and drawn in a 
layer of the element behind the background. That means that there is 
some control over its stacking; unlike 'outline', which is always in 
front.

The draft doesn't say how the intensity of the shadow relates to the 
offset.
