To tell the truth, I was in sympathy with the proposal of adding animation
features to PNG in the beginning.  But the more the discussion continues, the
more I fear that APNG with the same signature as PNG has destroyes completely
the design philosophy of PNG and MNG.

Is it possible to port the VLC+alpha (or LC-alpha) features of libmng into
libpng?  If yes, it seems to me the best solution now.
