IE already sends color depth and server-side scripting looks to be getting more trivial. So... we check UA, version, color depth. If UA only supports NS-216 colors send crummy images. If UA supports adaptive or settable palettes send images optimized to one palette. If client is true-color send images with individually optimized palettes (or maybe 16- or 24- or 32-bit).
