Gecko does have the beginnings of support, though I believe the
current Gecko syntax is slightly different from the CSS3 proposal.
It doesn't smooth (anti-alias) the edges of curves though, which means
it can be a little ugly in some places. If they get that fixed I'll be
a happy man.

"AA" in this case is an abbreviation for Anti-Aliasing.


It's my view in this case that whether or not curved corners, box/text
shadows et al get anti-aliased should be entirely a choice for user
agent implementors. Those who implement it will be at a
quality-stemmed competitive advantage over those who don't. But, bear
in mind also that calculating AA requires a certain amount of
processing that a particular user agent may not be able to afford - a
bare-bones browser such as K-Melon might not want to take that hit,
since it tries to provide a browser for users on slower, older
systems.
Thus, I don't think the spec should require something that raises the
minimum requirements of user-end software.
