Description AB 2010-02-22 23:19:19 UTC 
If an RGBA value is given for border-color, the validator returns this error:
Value Error : border  Too many values or values are not recognized : 2px solid rgba(18,143,53,0.3)  2px solid rgba(18,143,53,0.3)
Comment 1 mmkmou 2011-10-19 18:15:44 UTC 
idem  for text-shadow and box-shadow
Comment 2 R M 2012-01-31 16:26:58 UTC 
Broken for almost 2 years now!!  CONGRATS!

An example of a valid syntax it reports as an error:

text-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.5) -1px 0, rgba(0,0,0,0.5) 0 -1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.3) -1px -2px;


Also, the link it produces to text shadow is dead:

Comment 3 carine bournez 2012-09-21 15:11:26 UTC 
Supported in the current version.
Comment 4 max.berghammer 2012-10-31 20:42:15 UTC 
The current version still says, that a valid rgba-value is an error for the outline-property...
example:

.thinOutline,
.tile,
ul.tiles li a,
.mainnav ul li a,
ul.subnav li a {
	outline: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25) solid 1px;
	outline-offset: -1px;
}
Comment 5 Yves Lafon 2012-11-02 10:14:08 UTC 
The bug report was for the 'border' spec. It is _not_ the same issue as the one with 'outline' (which was just fixed), so please do not reopen this bug for random properties, open a new one, thanks! (and thanks for the report for outline).
