I suggest that the existing 'filter' property from the SVG 1.0
Recommendation can already do the box shadow, the blurred drop shadow,
the multiple colored blured drop shadow, the text shadow, and so forth
plus many, many other things without coming up with a keyword or
property for each canned effect.
It is significantly more configurable than the methods proposed here,
and also is very well documented in terms of precise, interoperable
rendering and already implemented several times.
'filter'
Value: <uri> | none | inherit
Initial: none
Applies to: container elements and graphics elements
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A
Media: visual
Animatable: yes
