Good question, I have transparency working fine on my WMS layers but I'm
serving them from Geoserver. I wonder what the difference is? Although
I'm not doing scale dependent rendering either.

What happens if you just apply transparency at all scales? Does that
work? Do other examples of scale dependent rendering work for things
other than transparency?

Thanks,
