You are right.  Both the external graphic state
(transparency) and graphic state can be controled with
\special{pdf:annot ...}, and there was no need to resort
to \special{x:renderingmode ...}.
Indeed the pgf/TikZ package provide a high level interface
for plain TeX, LaTeX and ConTeXt of trancparency.
For LaTeX,
\usepackage{graphicx}
\newcommand{\pgfsysdriver}{pgfsys-dvipdfm.def}
\usepackage{tikz}
[...]
\tikz[baseline=X.base]
 \node[inner sep=0mm,fill opacity=0.4] (X) {text};

BTW, what is the size limit of attachment in this list?
The sample PDF I once mentioned is nearly 1 MB now.
