Wouldn't it be fair to put this under "edge cases"? When you have a CSS property that has not been implemented in a pattern similar to other long-standing properties (e.g. text-shadow-radius), it seems that animating such a combined property would fall under an edge case requiring custom code.
IMO, there is a list of priorities on both jQuery core and jQuery UI that would need to be addressed before something like this. Again, if the spec supported sub-properties on the text-shadow (similar to border-right-color, et.al.), this would be a non-issue as the animation would be fully functional in the current codebase with no modifications.

The same problem arise with box-shadow and possibly other features. jQuery should either embrace these new property syntaxes or put pressure on the CSS spec authors to change it to the ol' fashion way. I don't know what is most appropriate but this will soon be a real pain when IE9 comes out and all browsers support this. http://www.css3.info/preview/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
