http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text-decor/#text-shadow-property
currently has the definition:
Computed value: a color plus three absolute <length>s
This is incorrect in two ways:
(1) It doesn't admit that the property takes a 'none' value or that
it can have multiple shadows
(2) It claims that 'currentColor' or the initial value always
computes to a color, rather than something that uses the current
value of the 'color' property as it inherits. For currentColor it
is the latter in level 4 of CSS Color (assuming the change sticks);
for the initial value it has always been the latter.
I think it should instead use the line from
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-backgrounds-3/#box-shadow which says:
Computed value: any <length> made absolute; any specified
color computed; otherwise as specified

Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
