Could it at least be fixed so that where it links to "text-shadow" in the error
text, it doesn't link to the CSS2 page on it, which makes it look perfectly
legitimate? Even when I validate against CSS2.1 specifically, it still links to
the CSS2 text-shadow property. (Oddly, when I validate as CSS3, it accepts
text-shadow.) Perhaps there's a page explaining why text-shadow was dropped
that could be linked to instead?
