If the CSS WG ever decides to add such properties (I hope not) they
should probably be applied to '@viewport', since the properties have
nothing to do with the element, but with the entire page.

Some of the properties already are (in some way) in CSS3, like the
'alpha' filter.

I'm in the opinion that most (if not all) of the IE filters don't look
that professional (I don't think CSS is designed for scriptkiddies?) and
shouldn't be added at all. However, you could implement it like:

   element{
    blinds-bands:<number>;
    blinds-direction:[top|right|bottom|left];
   }

And a shorthand 'blinds' property could be added as well.

You mean implement I guess.
