Colors defined with alpha chanel and RGB values do not show opacity in IE < 9

Here is a example:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6700743/issues/raphael-clip-rect/rgba.html

```javascript
var paper = new Raphael('test', 600, 400);
var c1 = paper.circle( 100, 100, 50 ).attr({ fill: 'red', stroke: 'red' });
var c2 = paper.circle( 150, 150, 70 ).attr({ fill: 'blue', stroke: 'rgba(0,0,255,0.5)', 'stroke-width': 10 });
```

I know I can use stroke-opacity and get the same result, but RGBA value I'm willing to use comes from a theme definition, and thats the elegant and strightforward solution I need. Decomposing the rgba value only for IE < 9 shouldn't be neccesary.
