Re: [fxtf-drafts] Fix the backdrop-filter order of operations to get opacity right (#361)

@mstange, hmm, you're right about Safari's current behavior. Opaque layers (even with opacity) do not show the backdrop. I don't know why, but this just feels weird to me. Putting opacity on an element should let you see through that element. Putting backdrop-filter on an element should paint a filtered copy of the backdrop behind it. Putting these two together, backdrop-filter with opacity should let you see the filtered backdrop. (Of course, I see how it could be defined that way, I'm just saying I'm not sure which way is more intuitive for developers.)

I'm not sticking to this position very strongly, but I would like to get it resolved one way or the other soon. I'm not sure which causes more compat issues at this point - changing Chrome to match Safari here, or leaving it as is and making sure the spec is right. But the sooner this is nailed down, the better.
