Yes.

I don't think so. The spec [1] says:

  The third length is a blur radius.

  The fourth length is a spread radius.

[1] http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-background/#box-shadow

So, if you want to specify a spread, you have to specify the blur as
well. Therefore, I think the examples should be:

  box-shadow:
    rgba(0,0,0,0.4)
    10px 10px 0px
    10px /* spread */

  box-shadow:
    rgba(0,0,0,0.4)
    10px 10px 0px
    10px /* spread */
    inset
