There were two different animated PNG extensions, MNG and APNG. Neither of them ever really caught on. I guess they're hoping to do better by baking it into the core spec.

    APNG is what they're using in v3, so all many libraries need to do* is update that code for HDR.

    * surely that's easy, right?
