I did not fully understand this proposal.
I believe you are suggesting something like an uplevel lookup.
li {opacity: .5 .25} would have to look up the background of the parent
and grandparent before calculating the resulting opacity of the li.
but opacity does not look up. "Conceptually, after the element
(including its children) is rendered into an RGBA offscreen image, the
opacity setting specifies how to blend the offscreen rendering into the
current composite rendering".
In addition, we do not even have a possibility to lookup the parent of
an element on selector level.
like this, it is not possible:
h1:parent{ float:left }
/* lookup the parent of any h1, then float the parent */
This direction is not how the cascade works, but what do I know.
The adequate place for discussing your proposal would be
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/
you should search the archives with
http://www-style.markmail.org/search/?q=opacity
and read a while first, the overall tone to some suggestions is
sometimes a little, ah, grim.
or see if css-discuss itself has covered it before
