Imagine an image with a gradient from black to white: Neither white nor black text would be readable on top of it. A black text with a white stroke (or opposite) would be easily readable! I _am_ demanding for this. text-stroke is perfect for putting text in front of any-colored background.

Anything that allows text to remain actual text is always a good thing. With border-radius and box-shadow implemented, I'm only 1 (or at most 2) css3 properties away from being able to ditch 4 or 5 dozen background images. Hopefully the Gecko team will see fit to implement this in time for Firefox 3.

Maciej, one of the lead Apple programmers in the WebKit project, has already been trying to get these declarations into WebKit.

Typography has always been a strength of Mac OS so Apple might have other things in mind with that options than just making the Browser supprt them.
