I know IE doesn't support PNG (which is what the FAQ entry is about),

Actually, IE has supported PNG for some time now. It's just that only the most recent (or Macintosh) versions support PNG with alpha transparency, but do support PNG with a binary transparent color.

You're absolutely right, Jon, but I have a different definition of "support" than "it puts some pixels on the screen" ;)

What I would expect by "support" (and was what I meant) was that the displayed image quality is not less than the alternatives (the PNG rendering is less than perfect) and that it supports features like alpha transparency if they are part of the specification.
