Actually, at the risk of being even more hated, I think we should also
consider the following, some of which is based on me thinking further
about Brian's paint bucket experiment:
• should pixels that are >99% opacity or <1% opacity be considered as
part of the transition area which is to fit within the defined space
(if specified shadow color is 100%)? (my thought is "no", or else pick
some smaaler threshold like >99.5% or <0.5%)
• if you don't like that, we should at least ask the question of
whether or not full specified opacity or totally transparent can be
considered to be part of the transition, or if they both (or either)
live completely outside it. I don't think we are currently clear about
that.
• should we say that all pixels of the blur that are <50% opacity
(multiplied by specified color opacity) should exist outside the
preblurred shape, and >50% within? I think implementations already do
this, but I'm not sure how compatible it is with the other points,
above.

I'm willing.
