You can have a blur radius without an offset in order to create a glow  
effect, right? Or am I taking your comments out of context, since you  
were talking about all three values being zero?

I like all three defaulting to zero, as it is a blank slate that can  
be changed to create whatever effect the author is looking for. Kind  
of like "text-decoration" defaulting to "none" until it is changed.
