Re: [css3-color] #rrggbbaa annotation

Would it be unacceptable to just say that, when using #rrggbbaa notation,
the aa part maps 0x00-0xFF directly onto 0.0 - 1.0 (that is, take the aa
value, convert it to decimal, and divide by 255), and if an author needs to
specify a color with /exactly/ 0.5 opacity (or another float that is not
represented exactly by one of the 256 values 0x00-0xFF) for some reason, he
or she just has to use rgba() (or hsla()) notation? I think that most
authors using (or rather, who would use) #rrggbbaa notation, and I am among
this company, would be just fine with 0x80 representing 0.50196...
