Serve them as video/x-apng. Only FF3a supports it at the moment anyway, so this is a very good time to influence the implementation if you disagree with it. There's no standard document saying "APNG should be served with MIME type image/png" yet.

I disagree, but we probably have much different definitions of "important". I agree with your last point, though; if people don't see something that's obviously broken, how will they know it is? Heck, people still see horrendously broken transparent PNG files in IE, and most "casual users" usually don't even question the fact that a site looks like crap. I asked a friend of mine to test the layout of a page I did once in IE, and he said it looked fine... two days later I checked it myself and it was horribly broken, squashed together, and parts were overlapping or missing altogether. I had to point out what, to me, were really obvious differences before he even noticed that it wasn't rendering correctly.
