I totally agree that would be a good idea. At the time we did the original blending modes, I had to work out the equations from scratch since they
were not publlished anywhere (i.e. pre-date the PDF spec.). So we started
by looking at what Photoshop seemed to do and then did the math to take
into account source and destination alpha. The result had some errors that
have been fixed over time.

For the best round-tripping scenarios with Quartz2D as well as AIM,
I think adding these would be a great idea.
