When creating a meeting, if Privacy->Private is chosen, the meeting will be made transparent, if the other 2 privacy are chosen, the meeting is made opaque. I don't think this is appropriate.  I understand that this was probably implemented with the idea that someone creating a "private" meeting would not want that meeting to show up in a freebusy lookup, but this only gives a false sense of privacy since other access right systems would come into play if another user was to open  the user's agenda itself instead of looking at a freebusy.

I think that by default, day events should be transparent and normal events opaque, with all privacy settings, while both properties remaining settable separately.

Sounds reasonable. Time transparency (property TRANSP) is already controlled via the menu "Show Time as -> Busy/Free". Currently setting the privacy to private or public will silently overwrite any previous user decision made for the time transparency -> kind of dataloss. http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=/mozilla/calendar/prototypes/wcap/sun-calendar-event-dialog.js&rev=1.1.2.67&mark=1110-1115#1106
