It is quite easy to modify the gimp script to creat png instead of gif.
One thing we have been concerned with is alienating new users if they
visit a web site that has 'broken' images if their browser doesn't support
png. We have discussed switching one image over to png for a few weeks
as a test case and converting the rest if it goes well. Unfortunately,
no one has created this test case.
