I've just read (skimmed through) the Haas paper; it says that the liberation of 1% of a bar of Cl in the atmosphere would require 10x the salt in the Earth's ocean.
I see a coincidence here- if we liberated all the chlorine in the ocean into the atmosphere, we'd get just the right amount to allow some light through. 0.1% of a bar of Cl would be thin enough to allow enough light for photosynthesis, and would be a realistic quantity of chlorine for an Earth-like world.
