box-shadow is CSS3, not HTML. HTML is markup for text, CSS is formatting that text.

It's not about making it only work in one browser — it's that currently these effects collectively (as Arnorhs points out, this isn't just box-shadow) are only rendered properly by that one browser (actually it's the rendering engine which is most important here — WebKit — which means I can view them fine in Safari 5.1).

I not sure why the developer labels it "Chrome only". I use Webkit Nightly (Safari) as my main browser, and it's slightly annoying when developers don't seem to realize that Safari and Chrome are both Webkit browsers and as such their support of the CSS3 spec is exactly the same.

The difference is the version of webkit included in the browser. I'm also running nightly Webkit, and all the examples work fine, however in default Safari 5 only about 60% render correctly

A lot of these are only rendered "properly" by WebKit because they're using WebKit-specific syntax. And I don't mean the prefixes; I mean cases where the WebKit-prefixed syntax differs from what the spec drafts say. So if you just swap the prefixes it'll look "wrong" in browsers that are following the draft more closely.
