I'm willing to admit that maybe you know something I don't, so please clarify: if I have 'box-shadow: 0 0 8px black' then what is 8px the radius of? Where is the other half of the circle for which 8px is a radius? > The current language would just have to be tweaked accordingly. Right. It wouldn't change authoring or implementation (maybe a few blogs would need updating). I think I'd be more comfortable with something like this: "The blur is perpendicular to and centered on the shadow's edge and defines a gradient color transition ranging from the full shadow color at the endpoint of the blur inside the shadow to fully transparent at the endpoint outside it."
