I argued for not suppressing border-shadow, for two reasons:

 - properties should be independent of each other, as much as
   possible. Unless there are strong reasons for it, setting a value
   on one property shouldn't affect the interpretation of other
   properties.

 - having box shadows on boxes with border-image seems useful. The
   argument that one can create these shadows in pixmap editor is not
   convincing. I don't want to open a pixmap editor, I want to set
   shadows in CSS
