Have a look at
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/PNG/inline-alpha.html
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/PNG/inline-alpha-table

Win/IE has an ugly grey opaque background, wheras a browser with correct PNG
support (Firefox, Opera, Safari, Mac/IE) displays it correctly.

Those tests are from Nov 2000, by the way, and in fact were first
created around 1998. This is a longstanding Win/IE bug that will not be
fixed, ever.

But indeed, if the tests depend on an alpha, then PNG is the only option
anyway.
