The situation gets worst if drop-shadow would be in the middle of the filter chain. User would have to surround the filtered content with two div's and apply three different filters. I assume that it is better to deal with it in the implementation. Even eliminating drop-shadow would rarely make the situation better. You're saying that a developer would do that if they need a drop-shadow embedded between other filters, which is true. I'm saying that I don't think this would be a common case at all, if it ever made sense. And in the cases where a developer felt the need to do it, then a sandwich of elements would not be an unreasonable solution. And my bigger point is that it seems like drop-shadow is more akin to text-shadow and box-shadow than to filters. So why not treat it the same? ----- ~Chris cmarrin@apple.com
