First, no dependency has been created because the remark is informative due to the use of the phrase "for example". Second, there is value to be gained by offering readers relevant cross-references. Because cross-references are valuable, they should generally not be avoided. Third, CSS3 Color (where 'opacity' is defined) is a Candidate Recommendation, and certainly there is no problem with one CR referencing another. Tantek
