Hm, I was more thinking of the opacity being like this:

<div id="parent">
	<div id="child">
	</div>
</div>

#parent { opacity: .5; }

#child { opacity: 1;}

Now, everything is rendered according to the way `opacity` works right
now. The exception will be that since #child has `opacity` set too, it
would be, umm, I guess I can say "re-rendered" with the opacity value
that is set on it. Thus the #parent will be half-transparent, but the
child will be rendered without any transparency.

What I mean, is that if an element has `opacity` property set it should
be re-rendered with the set opacity which would not relate to the one of
parent's
