Basically they said "hey, no one is ready to use this yet, so let's just put it off until CSS 3" the "text effects module" of CSS 3 is still in a pretty early draft, and they haven't yet included text-shadow yet, but it's on their list of things to do. I imagine that it will be included now that there are working implementations. yeah, text-shadow was omitted from CSS 2.1.

However the reality is the only thing I use text-shadow for right now is reducing the visual weight of the fonts I use, and that only needs to be done in Safari right now, so it works out nicely.
