Here's the ongoing tracking of this issue:

http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngapbr.html


This is part of "The PNG Home Site", and contains much information on

history, technology, application support, more. PNG was the very first

actual Recommendation from the W3C back in 1996, and is also in the process

of becoming an actual ISO Standard. Getting practical implementation of a

finished Recommendation or even a Standard is a different thing, though.
