I don't think so. In current implementations, a blur between opaque and transparent does seem to have 50% in the middle (where the unblurred edge would be), more opaque pixels on one side and all more transparent pixels on the other. But that might not be the case once the tangle of opacities is clamped to no less than 1% opaciyi and no more than 99% opacity, extending across the entire (measured) blur region.

That seems like a reasonable requirement.

I don't think so.

I'm pretty sure I don't understand.
