I am fully aware about banding, it was introduced mostly because the PNG 
are indexed, you know, size matters for web display, you can't have the

JPEG format.

Well, I tried mostly to bait the people here in an useful discussion to 
get a single slogan for F8 (not a hundred as before) and maybe a 
concrete list with what graphics are needed.
