This sounds like a render/implementation problem and not a problem with 
the spec.  If transparent material isn't displaying correctly then 
either we need to define a better transparent color or the renderers 
need to be corrected to better display trans-white.  Unless you can give 
me concrete and visual examples that this issue is a problem with the 
spec and not with the renderer, I feel that the use of color 16 in this 
way is definitely non-standard, confusing, and should be avoided.
