Re: [css-transforms] CSS3D breaks with opacity flattening

If you guys are against opacity being applied to descendants of the
targeted element, then maybe, instead of flattening, the opacity should
just apply to the target element's own paint and those descendants that are
popped out and exist in the same 3D space would not be affected by the
opacity. Opacity multiplication would be up to the end developer, and I
could live with that.

But the current behavior is wrong from a 3D perspective. Opacity should not
suddenly and unexpectedly move all the vertices of a 3D object onto a
common plane.

Please, let's revise the spec, no matter how hard that may be, and let's
get it right.
