I guess that's good enough. It's actually kind of weird that an element with a transparent background casts an opaque shadow. I didn't follow those discussions when they happened; now I wish I had argued for the shadow to actually shadow the element's content. Making the shadow depend on the alpha values of border-images but not other kinds of borders, or the element's background or content, seems weird.
