Firefox 1.5+ also supports 'opacity', no need for the '-moz' anymore.
Which then leaves MSIE alone. But anyway, MSIE is not interested in any
kind of valid code, so conditional-comments for MSIE-specific CSS comes
to mind:
<head>
<title>Validates where it should (xml+html), and not where nobody
cares</title>
<style type="text/css">
.fader { opacity: 0.5; }
</style>
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<style type="text/css">
.fader { filter:
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=50); }
</style>
<![endif]-->
</head>
