[css3-background] box-shadow syntax

Note: the WG has resolved to add box-shadow back to CSS3 Background & Borders [1] but as the editor's draft has not yet been updated, the following refers to the last document version for which it was defined [2].

The syntax, as described, allows values such as:

box-shadow: inset;
box-shadow: inset blue;
box-shadow: blue;

These values are syntactically valid but will have no effect in the absence of offsets and other shadow radii.

Is this intentional ? 
Should we update the specified syntax to forbid such values ?
