Ok, but when is a TIFF ever better than a PNG in a web-publishing context? When is a PNG "loosing" any information that is useful in such context?
The point is, you're right that it's not losing any information useful for actual display. The information it's losing is only useful for subsequent editing and use in other formats. But we *want* to enable subsequent editing and use in other formats, as well as simple Web display.
