See Section 6.4.3, 6.4.8 and 6.4.12 at ST 428-7.
It shall be possible to apply a drop shadow style parameter to a <span> element for the purpose of altering the contrast of the rendered text against the primary picture.
The application of the parameter shall result in the drawing of a drop shadow behind each character, falling diagonally to the bottom and right of each character.
It shall be possible to specify the color (including alpha channel) and thickness of the drop shadow. The thickness shall be expressed as a positive decimal number in units of em.
The drop shadow effect shall remain on the bottom and right of each character, whatever the progression direction.

Related notes:
This appears to be a proposal to support features of the CSS3 Text Decoration Module's text-shadow [1] property that aren't currently supported by tts:textOutline, e.g., a shadow offset in both x and y axes as opposed to being a pure outline effect.

[Sean]: needs to meet the requirements of US closed captions
6 Jun 2013, 14:58:14For additional clarity on the communication from SMPTE, there is an attempt to enhance TTML to support the edge styles required by the FCC, in addition to the IMF needs.
Specifically, we need a way to map the following 708 edge types into TTML with the same presentation affect:
NONE, RAISED, DEPRESSED, UNIFORM, LEFT_DROP_SHADOW, RIGHT_DROP_SHADOW
Unfortunately CEA 708 and the FCC are not very prescriptive about exactly what these all mean – “Manufacturers have a bit of latitude in how these border effects are achieved.” The FCC did not elaborate.
However, example presentations can be found in CEA 708, Section 8.5.8.2, Figure 19.
text-shadow appears to satisfy ST 428-7 requirements
