Currently the only way to specify a color with an alpha value is to use the rgba() syntax, such as:
.my-color {
color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5); /* half white */
}
This can become very unwieldy to write. A more succinct syntax could extend the current format of #rgb or #rrggbb to include #rgba or #rrggbbaa like so:
.my-color {
color: #ffffff80; /* half white */
}
The browser could easily detect the difference between a 3 or 4 character hex value, or a 6 or 8 character hex value, and implement the alpha channel as appropriate.

This is not in the spec.
Perhaps ask www-style@ for their opinion.
