Re: [svgwg] Use CSS gradient rules for transitioning semi-transparent stop-colors

As discussed at the recent 
[telcon](https://www.w3.org/2016/07/21-svg-minutes.html#item04), SVG 
gradients are now defined in the following way:
* Calculations are done as in SVG 1.1 and differently than CSS - they 
are not in premultiplied space
* If a CSS color value that includes opacity information is used on 
the `stop-color` attribute (such as an rgba() value, or the keyword 
'transparent') then the opacity used at that stop is the product of 
the opacity component of the `stop-color` attribute and the 
`stop-opacity` attribute.

This means that 'transparent' really means transparent black in SVG. 
It is equivalent to stop-color='black' and stop-opacity='0'.
