I think it is very inconvenient that when you set opacity on an element
you cannot make descendants opaque.
Consider this example (perhaps with some scripting involved):
You want to show a photo in the middle of the page and make the rest of
the page semi-transparent.
body { opacity: .5; }
Will make the photo semi-transparent as well.
#photo { opacity: 1; }
Will not fix this.
People are forced to use workarounds like this:

Which requires extra elements and not always possible.
Forgive me if I am failing to see the implementation limitations, but in
my personal opinion opacity override is something that would be quite
useful.
