Well, I agree, at first glance I think this should be a part of the normal behaviour... unless there's something better! :)
...but I also think it's valid for dev's to make some modification's if they add value; Apple's not above a bit of UI variety and experimenting. OK I'm being a bit glib, but this isn't an obtrusive change, other apps fade out their windows in the background, offer HUDs or go full-screen, even though those cases aren't explicitly covered in the HIG.

I was really only pointing to them as ways to try these things in practice, which is really the only way to go. Initially I was sceptical of transparency in background windows, but now I'm playing with just that, and it's actually quite effective. I'm not sure if I'll stay with it, but real use can surprise you... YMMV. :)
