I use it for serving "CSS" that looks like

* html #logo {
   background: none;
   filter: 
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='img/logo.png',sizingMethod='scale');
}

* html #login-box {
   background: none;
   filter: 
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='img/bg-login.png',sizingMethod='scale');
}

etc. ...

I think this piece of crap should be invisible to all the 
standards-aware clients. However, the obsolete IE needs thin in some 
layouts, where transparent PNGs are essential.

Nevertheless I definitely agree with all the other statements you wrote.
