inputs in loginbox have shadow

buttons have background gradient

We also could extract them to browser-specific CSS files. OTOH we already  
have filter for IE in our CSS ;)

This wouldn't work, neither with JS nor with PHP. E.g. syntax between CSS3  
standard/mozilla and the webkit implementation is different.
Except we would parse them and so on.. sounds not too easy :)
