As Fantasai said, the extent of the box-shadow is theoretically
infinite if you invoke blur; we'd have to do another one of those
messy definitions defining the size relative to some percentage of
shadow left behind, which I don't like.

Staying with just border-image also keeps us closer to the SVG definition.
