There is no reason to dynamicaly change the renderbin, if the object can 
be transparent then it will be in the transparent bin since the begining 
(the author just need to set an alpha < 1.0).
On the other hand we have a lot of objects that are in the transparent 
bin for no reason. We need a pseudo animation to put them in another bin 
(after the opaque one and before the transparent one). Thoses objects 
are using a texture with an alpha *mask*. They are *not* transparent. 
They have nothing to do in the transparent bin because they are ruining 
the perf and at the end they will make the depth sort fail 
(exemple:radio mast texture, tree texture, some aircraft texture).
