Are transparent backgrounds a bad idea?

WCAG Folks,

The i18n WG would like to know whether we should be concerned about using graphics with transparent backgrounds.  

This arises from a comment on our Character Model document. The commenter is worried that someone applies a high contrast stylesheet (white text on black background) then dark images will no longer be visible.

We would like to know your thoughts on the matter.

Thanks,
RI
