You're right.
I made a bad choice here, based on a wrong technical idea.

(I thought saving all the shadow parameters (color, distance etc.) "for every character"
would be too much, so it had to remain at the paragraph level. But we don't store
anything at the char level in fact, we factorize such things in KoTextFormat. So
no problem to add the shadow stuff there. It's quite some code to move around though...)

Checking OO... forwards me to the CSS standard....
ok it has support for color and distance (even a distanceX != distanceY...)
and even a blur radius thingie, which looks rather neat :)

Ok, this sounds like something we need to fix. Feel free to submit a bug report
(and sorry for the doc change it will mean :})
