Inset shadows are definitely not an attempt to fake background gradients. What I am looking at is something like this: http://nimbupani.com/vignettes-with-css3-box-shadows.html I have seen this effect on a lot of graphics used in banners (especially music artist graphics), and I dont think background gradients would do this as effectively as inset box-shadows. Also, altering the stacking order for everything might mean text might get hidden on elements with box-shadows (I am not sure of the implications there). It seems to make more sense on elements whose background property is usually not set (or seen). - divya
