While we're here, can we address the question of what happens when an
element with its own stacking context splits across regions with their own
stacking contexts? At least one of those stacking contexts has to lose its
stacking-context-ness and be possibly interleaved in z-order with other
content.

The problem is particularly acute for CSS properties like 'opacity' (and
'filter') that induce stacking contexts, where the current rendering
semantics depend strongly on the element *not* being interleaved in z-order
with other content.

I brought this up earlier but apparently it didn't get addressed. I think
it's quite fundamental.
