Today, while reading my morning load of news I've come across a Wikipedia article[1] with some embedded LaTeX formulae, used within a table. The table header on that page has background of a distinct color which makes formula images look ugly.

As far as I know, the only thing actually blocking us from doing this was something like IE5 on Mac printing transparent images with black backgrounds. That's probably not relevant anymore. We're still stuck with the fact that IE6 doesn't support alpha channels, though -- we could make the fully-transparent parts of the background transparent, but I don't see how we could avoid aliasing effects on sane browsers without making things look extremely ugly on IE6.
