I really don't think it's a good idea to have

image files for IE and everything else. It's already bad enough that
you have to overwrite files installed as part of MediaWiki to set the
logo displayed by Monobook (*separately* from the other skins), now you
have to do two, and remember to do the one that your browser never
shows?
It just seems like a lot of trouble to maintain.
They could both be indexed, but i wouldn't like the indexed look in a
modern browser, especially with the book behind it. The png hack for ie
doesn't seem to work with some versions of 6.0. Giving ie an opaque
background might be ok for the mediawiki logo, but imo not for a real
site.
If the default logo was placed in the main style dir relative paths to
that one would be possible as well. Any objections against this?
Furthermore, the indexed ie version can be commented out by default in
the release if needed to avoid newbie woes.
