The question of applying alpha to individual paint layers instead of to elements was me just trying to figure out a way around a "mixed content" problem, when an element has child content as well as its own paint. But I confess I haven't thought it through too carefully. Maybe "each paint operation" is too much, and it would be possible to just define two layers: background, borders and box shadows, versus child elements and text nodes. The alpha adjustments would apply when compositing the child elements and text nodes with the background etc., as well as applying to all the anonymous text boxes.
