Adrian: what would you say to an alternative to "rasterize transparency" PS/EPS backend approach, which would where possible intersect semitransp shapes and fill then with flat color or no-transparency gradients to preserve appearance?

It would be a nice feature to have. But since it is something that can be done by the application, adding this to cairo is not a high priority.

Well, the same applies to the rasterization - it can also, in principle, be done by the application. Wouldn't it be better, from architecture viewpoint, to have both approaches implemented in one library?
