Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] [css-color-5] Mixing with `transparent` seems broken in implementations (#8612)

> My expectation remains that any mix with `transparent` should only have an effect on the alpha channel and not on any other color components.

`transparent` has been [defined as transparent black (`rgba 0, 0, 0, 0)`) for many years](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-3/#transparent). Which makes it impossible to distinguish two use cases:

1.  I want "fully transparent" to be a stop color and don't care about the color
2. I actually want transparent black, just like I want transparent any other color

@tabatkins  I guess it is too late (not Web compatible) to redefine `transparent` as `rgba(none none none 0)`?
