Using existing CSS, it's easy to adapt text-shadow to produce a good outline - just make four shadows, offset by 1px in each direction, and you're good.
It's been suggested that the spread argument from box-shadow be applied to text-shadow. If implementers want to take that on, it can be part of CSS3 Text. Also there were proposals for a text-outline property, which would do something similar, based on feedback from the TimedText WG. http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#text-shadow http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#text-outline ~fantasai
