are you sure? a shade goes from one color to another; transparency is
not part of that but applied to the whole (transparency is kind of
independent of color and in context also only coupled in definition not
in implementation)

no, it's independent ... and in shades one talks of color spaces (need
to be the same too) so in context we even need to make sure an rgb to
cmyk shade goes well
