I don't know why the spec has us clip the padding-box out of the shadow in the first place, since it can only lead to effects that violate real-world physics. If your diamond-border example had a solid padding-box background, and the border-image was modified so the inside of the diamond border is filled with the same background color, then drawing a diamond-shaped drop shadow for the border would be easy and look good. Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah 53:5-6]
