Same here. I think that if we are anticipating a future 'border- shadow' and/or fuller 'drop-shadow' property, and want to change the current 'box-shadow' as little as possible, then we should not try to recreate what those future properties would do inside border-image. We should just drop the undesirable rectangular rendering of box-shadow on border-images, and let the separate, more complete shadowing properties take on the task of rendering shadows for images, dashed lines, backgrounds, foreground elements, etc. I can easily imagine a separate 'drop-shadow' property that has similar sytax to box-shadow, and includes another keyword to indicate what it applies to (everything, just borders of all styles and kinds, everything but contents, just background images, etc.).
