Thanks for pointing me to the Porter & Duff paper.. it is quite 
excellent!  It's not everyday that you read something that says - "Let 
us call this an alpha channel, and let us treat an alpha of 0 to 
indicate no coverage, 1 to mean full coverage, with fractions 
corresponding to partial coverage."

Thanks, again!

Anything else that would help me understand the concepts?

Thanks,
Mohit.
