   I come to you with a simple idea for the next advancement in writing

   web master set the transparency/alpha of an element. This would be
   extremely helpful. Have you considered this idea before? Is it
   possible? Do you like my idea?

This would be an idea for a presentational model to consider, such as CSS;
there are w3c mailing groups for CSS.  XHTML does not decide the
presentation of a document, but rather the structure and semantics of the
document.
