Thanks for putting that up. I didn't have further time to even look at  
this until today, and I am currently in  a bit of a rush, so I will  
put up my own later. It will be essentially the same, except for blur  
radius. Yours seems to do something a little different than what I am  
used to, and seems to force a certain amount of unblurred shadow to be  
shown when there is offset. That doesn't look as natural to my eyes,  
and seems to be more limiting. In the PhotoShop/spec way of handling  
blur, your way could still be simulated, I think, by using spread.

I will post one later today to show the differences.
