Just out of curiosity, why is there not hex notation for this, as Brian suggests? Most designers use hex notation for their colors (it's the shortest declaration available). Is it just too difficult to parse in hex form? Can some sort of delimiter not be required? (E.g. color: #fff-0.8; or color: #ffffff-0.8;) That would eliminate ambiguity issues, and a compliant 2.1 UA would just ignore the declaration, same as it would any rgba() notation. Just curious, as it seems less friendly in its present form. -- -Adam Kuehn
