PNG not desirable?

Hi Sergey,

I noticed this in your explanation of the PNG image demo:

"PNG is a WWW format, so it's undesirable"

explaining why images are converted to JPEGs. In what way is PNG undesirable? It's an open standard, broadly supported and more suitable than JPEG for many types of images.

This is not a big deal, I was just wondering about the basis of your dislike of PNG.

Cheers,
Martin

That's my English :)
I meant that conversion of PNG to JPEG is undesirable.
