Text shadows with CSS

The standards way

Some sample text, with text-shadow: #aaa 0px 0px 5px;.

Too bad this specification doesn't really work cross browser (http://www.quirksmode.org/css/textshadow.html).

The non-standard, but working way

This is a very nice solution, but requires generated content, which isn't supported by Internet Explorer.

This line has a nice shadow.

The next examples require some extra markup, but work in Explorer. Perhaps a javascript solution would be better, to create the extra markup on the fly.
