Not good? Seems harsh. It's a workable solution in some cases, to be 
sure, don't you think? IE7 is the only browser in my testing which 
garbles the ClearTyping on filtered elements...the others seem fine. So, 
you could feed PNGs to Opera, FF2 and to IE7 with conditional commenting 
if you were hung up on the ClearTyping.

I don't use Windows, but when I do, I find ClearTyping to be just awful 
so I disable it anyway. You could also disable ClearTyping on your site 
completely (call it: "for consistency's sake") by using this:
body{filter:none}

Personally, I don't think it's a show stopper, but I can see from this 
post (and your other posts on the net about the subject) that you do. 
S'all good. I was just offering up my experience, even as "not good" as 
it is.

Thanks.
