--- Comment #13 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
The topic was on the agenda of the design meeting.

Issue
   + margin is per definition always transparent
   + if attributes of one paragraph continue on the next the margin 
     will be filled

Solution
   a) add a property similar to the new "BackgroundFullSize" (c6)
   b) use the border instead of spacing to continue attributes (works out of
the box)

Tweaking the clear definition of being transparent is never a good solution
whether by comparing the attributes nor using a some option. If we go with b)
and there are concerns about the layout of existing documents we could add a
compatibility or expert option.

While I doubt that many used this exploit intentionally it could have been a
way to color the page background, so potentially used often. In this case we
could keep the current behavior for past documents and use the correct
transparency for new documents only.

If we keep the current behavior it requires documentation (easy workaround is
to have slightly different colors).
