For advertisement banners.  And that's about it.  Where else do you
see GIF animations on professionally created sites?  Even banner ads
are going away from the GIF format in favor of Flash animations or
embedded HTML.

Which can be stashed away in a .js file and called when needed.

None at the moment, but exactly why would you need a transparent
image?  That is, unless you're making one of those slow-loading,
annoying <BODY BACKGROUND="foo.png"> tags?  I just set the
background color of my PNG files to the background color of my page
(generally Readable White).
