The examples should be diagrammed with dimensions, so there's
no guessing e.g. how big the opaque part is compared to the
original box. I think it's interesting to note that the blur
centers on the edge of the shadow: I suspect many people had
not realized that. (I didn't, until working on this aspect of
the spec.)

If we also want realistic examples (rather than complete offsets
like in Simon's example), we'd want one with an offset shadow,
and another with zero offsets to show the common use cases.
