The CSS Working Group has resolved not to add 'background-opacity' to the CSS3 Backgrounds and Borders module. We are considering this functionality for the future (e.g. see discussion about filters from <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Nov/0252.html>) but it likely will not be expressed as a 'background-opacity' property. Please let me know if this is acceptable. :) ~fantasai
