Patrick Mueller commented on CB-1495:
-------------------------------------
I believe it's possible to create "indexed palette" PNGs as well as "RGB
triple" PNGs [1]. As to whether we have the technology to create these, and
whether iOS will display them, are separate questions. I'm guessing the answer
is "yes" to both.
