My commonsensical way of thinking tells me this original idea is to have a
invisible factor, something to antialias with that isn't color at all but in
fact a transparency info layer.  Which is what Alpha Channel seems to
advertise.  Red edge should go semitransparent is all, and when overlayed
later via post process in a piant program for example then the red edges
would be only shades of clear red.
Sorry, I'm just here to blab a little.
