Not an option (political obstacles).  It would then be a GIF.  GIFs
are GNUically incorrect because of the Unisys patents.

Anyway, even for transparent GIFs you have to know the background color
or else you get jaggies.  Only with formats like PNG that have an alpha
channel can you do transparency correctly (a pixel can be 64%
transparent).

I think we could use the thing as is.  Just set the page background to the
same color as the image background.
