I don't think saying that it composites against opaque white is any simpler than saying it just does against "the backdrop", with a definition that the backdrop is whatever the UA wants it to be (typically transparent for iframes and opaque white for root-level documents, but can be anything). Given that all you're doing with it is compositing over it, the identity of it doesn't matter, and being unnecessarily specific makes it *harder* to read when you actually know the details. ^_^
