Dear Matt, I don't know about a change to the defaults, but I can explain about the "shadow" properties: these were introduced with commit 225b11ca6a2146f2a42224985c35f6c50aa1a4e2 (Bug 13052). They are meant to deal with countour visibility on grayscale monitors. Without colors it is oftenly hard to see the location of a contour, depending on the background image. We implemented rendering of a black outline copy in the background with a slight offset in x/y, i.e. drawing a shadow line. This creates a good contrast with most images.
