You are right, I have no special knowledge here. I was just
alluding to the limitations of IE re alpha and the
disappointment it could cause to someone who might not know
about this issue and I knew others would explain it... With gif
you can't so easily overshoot, with png you can because it has
the potential for the richer and sophisticated type of
transparency.
