APNG support in WebKit is implemented as a thin layer on top on regular vanilla libpng.

So all that stuff is not very relevant.

From a technical point of view it's all irrelevant, but I find APNG to be very interesting from a historical point of view. It's both a technical and a political compromise, and all things considered, not a bad standard.
