I aggree with Markku and Kei, most not-lossy image formats bring their own
palette and transparency definitions.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think that an authoring process is
something an author has more or less full control over. If s/he authors a

was desired. I know, there are some occasions where this control does not
exists.
