GIF 87a or 89a in DDC?

Description:
Raising an issue on this outstanding thread from public comments --

We specify GIF 89a support in the default delivery context, but prohibit
transparency, animation, interlacing. A comment on the public mailing list says
that we\'ve essentially described GIF 87a by adding these restrictions, that the
only different between 87a and 89a that remains is text chunks which don\'t seem
useful.

Suggestion is to specify 87a, or, at least allow transparency. I don\'t know
enough to make a recommendation myself. I am inclined to allow transparency if
browsers support it.
