Re: Shadow style compliance

However, you do need to take care with its use if it is the only  
means of highlighting the text you have. E.g. if you have pale text  
on a pale background. This will make your page illegible on non- 
Webkit browsers, so make sure you test your code in e.g. Firefox to  
ensure the font is still visible and legible without the shadow.

Cheers,

Jonathan
