Short answer - no.

Long answer - this filter seems to work pretty consistently like the 
CSS3 "opacity" property, except it uses percents rather than fractions.
As expected, I have come across bugs using it, but only in exceptional
circumstances. No real reason not to use it.

My thoughts on validation - I regard it like I do a spell checker:
an essential tool, but not to be followed blindly. After all, if I write
about the Sheraton Centre in Manhattan, my U.S. spell-checker tells
me I spelled "Centre" incorrectly. Do I change it? I think not.

Cordially,
David
