If the implementation is allowed to choose whether or not to draw shadows, then I think it is fine to allow the implementation to choose the minor details of dash rendering. > Anything that isn't specified to the virtual pixel is an error in the > spec.

And I think I'm ready to drop this now. I've posted an entry on my (low-readership) blog about the (surprising, I think) fact that there is no plan to add support for dashed lines. Maybe that will generate a few more requests for the feature. Or maybe you're right and no one except me really cares about this :-) Thanks for all your time on this matter, David Flanagan
