Graphic effects - Feather Edges of Rects

[Scott Rossi]

I'm guessing you guys want the final result to be rectangular and not
oval-shaped.  That's too bad because you could use a radial gradient using
a single color (i.e. white to white) in a graphic with the inner color set
to 100% transparent -- this makes a near-perfect mask but only in oval
shape.
