I do not know the exact details about the Gecko implementation and whether it is different, but what I do know is that it is still experimental (ok, what else can it be with the spec still in WD :)), and for example doesn't support a non-solid borders yet. Yet, it is used quite often already, on a fair number of sites. It is also a property which lends itself to 'progressive enhancement' pretty well (as in: it scales down well on non-supporting browsers). So, given that the property is already as popular as it is now, it would be a shame to take this out. By the way, in low-contrast settings, or small-scale ones, the lack of anti-aliasing can be quite unnoticeable, so anti-aliasing is, although desireable, not a prerequisite for it to be usable. ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san!
