Aye. Shouldn't there be a note in the ED calling this out as an open issue? -Brian From: Lea Verou [mailto:leaverou@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2011 5:28 PM To: Brian Manthos Cc: www-style@w3.org Subject: Re: [css3-background][css3-text] text-shadow computed value On 22/11/11 11:58, Brian Manthos wrote: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-box-shadow # <shadow> = inset? && [ <length>{2,4} && <color>? ] http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#text-shadow # Computed value: a color plus three absolute <length>s So the 4th length is omitted from the computed value of text-shadow? I think it has been mentioned previously in the list that text-shadow was spec'ed before spread radius was added in box-shadow. Thus, the text-shadow definition assumes 3 lengths, even though it doesn't explicitly restrict text-shadow to 3 lengths. So, technically, a spread radius should be allowed but the way it should work is not specified anywhere (there was a recent discussion about spread radius in text-shadow: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Feb/0796.html ). The only UA currently implementing a spread radius in text-shadow is Trident. My point is that the issue you are pointing out with the text-shadow definition is actually part of a much bigger one. -- Lea Verou (http://lea.verou.me | @LeaVerou)
