It just seemed more useful to me that way, as positioned content would be more likely to be less closely associated in space with the element casting the shadow, and less likely that I would want to generate a single shadow from the item and it's positioned child. It would be easy to add a second shadow within the same rule that added position to the child. > It seems like a property like this should behave like opacity (and > just establish a stacking context with a z-index of 0), with all the > same rules for consistency. That would create individual shadows for each child, and I was trying to create a way to generate a single shadow for union of the element and it's children.
