It sounds like you want all the shadows for an element to be painted
at the same layer, so you should say that the text shadow for an
element is painted (for all the text within it, including text
inside descendant elements) in a layer after (above) its border and
background, but for each text by the parent element of the text (so
that the shadow moves with relative positioning).
How should text-shadow paint relative to underline and overline
text-decoration? That might make this complicated.
