The general idea we were trying to encourage was that any appearance- 
related settings are ideally expressed in CSS. Your point is that  
opacity is specified in different ways depending on the browser. What  
a drag!

So it seems like we have two possible options:

1. Expose opacity as a optional parameter in the JavaScript
2. Specify opacity value within the CSS in the W3C format but continue  
to use jQuery to actually set the value

Any recommendations?
