This would exclude floats as well as absolute- & fixed-position children.
That does not seem very desirable to me.

I'm assuming you mean "semi-transparent."

I'm also assuming, though it's not clear to me from the text, that opacity
is rendered from innermost outward, so that in this case:

  <style>
    div.container { opacity: 0.5; }
    div.kid { opacity: 0.5; }
  </style>
...
  <div class="container">
    <div class="kid">
    ...
    </div>
  </div>
...

div.kid renders with opacity .25.
