Hmmm animated pngs? I forgot they existed. Given that GIF has for a longer time supported transparency is there a reason why you cannot use that format instead?

@steff285: Look no further: Hollywood's APNG plugin can write APNG files just fine!

@djrikki: APNG can use alpha channel transparency and 24-bit graphics which GIF doesn't support so APNG is actually quite useful.
