I apprehend, but wouldn't the opacity parameter be a reasonable addition to 
the <bg-layer> specification, though?

(I made a mistake in my previous examples by providing the hypothetic 
opacity parameter as a percent value. It's, of course, supposed to be a 
fractional value.)

I don't quite apprehend. How would one add a semi-transparent watermark/logo 
image with a full background image by using cross-fade()?

It's "2.4. Combining images: the cross-fade() notation"
(http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-images-3/#cross-fade-function)

"When transitioning between images, CSS requires a way to explicitly refer 
to the intermediate image that is a combination of the start and end images. 
This is accomplished with the cross-fade() function"
