The CSS that SVG should support is defined in the specification here: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/propidx.html

If you want text-shadow added to a subsequent version of the SVG specification you need to take that up with the w3c SVG working group. The good news for you is that the SVG WG are considering what to have in SVG 2.0 right now.

In the meantime there are SVG ways to do shadows e.g. http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/06/02/svgtype.html
