That's not an additive device since it can blend the web content with the real world using `source-over`. 
For instance, this means that black text can still be visible.

If you want parts to push through (and leave the initial background opaque), I don't think there's currently a way to do this.

I don't follow. Can you list the scenario you're thinking of?
