Opacity is not inherited, but all the contents of a box whose opacity
is lower than 1 (<100%) will appear as semi-transparent (or faded). It
is not applied to the background, but the box as a whole. All the
children(the <a>) of that box (the <li> in your case) will be affected.
Compare that to reducing the opacity of a layer in Photoshop or the
Gimp.
If you only want a semi-transparent background, then your best bet is
using a transparent PNG file for the background.
