linear-gradient from white to transparent goes through black

<a href="http://codepen.io/juwain/pen/bpeNpy">http://codepen.io/juwain/pen/bpeNpy</a>

1. Create a block.
2. Set background-image: linear-gradient(to right, white, transparent) to it.

Actual behavior:
White color becomes gray and the transparent.

Expected behavior:
White color smoothly turns into transparent.

Check specification <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/2012/CR-css3-images-20120417/#color-stop-syntax">https://www.w3.org/TR/2012/CR-css3-images-20120417/#color-stop-syntax</a> 

Example 23.

In premultiplied space, transitions to or from &quot;transparent&quot; always look nice.
On the other hand, if a gradient were to incorrectly transition in non-premultiplied space, the colors near &quot;transparent&quot; would noticeably darken to a grayish color, because &quot;transparent&quot; is actually a shorthand for ‘rgba(0,0,0,0)’, or transparent black.</pre>
