I think we should strive for consistency here with:'
* SVG gradients
* color transitions

In the latter case, if I have a horizontal gradient, and I run a transition on 'left' and 'background-color' of a child element over the top, the background-color of that child should match the color of the portion of the gradient it is over.

We've already decided to use premultiplied colors for transitions. FWIW.
