Well, it is not a bad idea, but it is different to setting individual components i agree. Basically there is a use case for both of these. > For example, it makes > sense to be able to set the opacity of the background > independent of the foreground color. Yes. But the resence of the group opacity prperty 'opacity' does not preclude being able to set, for example, border opacity using a separate property. For examples, see the SVG spec whichhas the group opacity property 'opacity' but also has fill opacity, stroke opacity, opacity on stops on a gradient, and so forth. -- Chris
