One thing to remember is that the background color almost certainly still
matters for transparent parts, because they'll be blended with it, even if they
are partially transparent in the PNG file.  So be sure to choose a background
color that is similar to the one you expect the parts to be displayed on for
transparent parts.  Oh, and it probably also effects the antialiasing on all
parts.

That's an interesting point.  We generate all images at a 3x zoom (3x of the
final target render scale) (with fat lines), then use ImageMagick to reduce the
image to 'normal'.  So the transparency of transparent parts will depend on how
ImageMagick processes the alpha channel.

I took a very quick glance, but it looks like the background color (on a Peeron
set listing) is coming through the trans parts. :)
