Hey, I'm the one who wrote the accessibility policy over there -- thanks for letting me know that the "pretty" part came off as flippant, because I had meant it as a sort of shorthand for "meet our needs." There are actually a whole bunch of reasons that we do them as jpgs, all of which are more important to us than the pretty part (we need them to be download/repost/hotlinkable, we need to be able to give them out in comments, we need to be able to automate the way we make them, and I have limited typing so I need to be able to basically just c/p a hotlink to the card in the comments) -- I tried to clarify that more over there.
We're not maried to jpg images, though, they're just the only thing we know about that fits the rest of our needs, and if there's a better solution with css I would love to hear more about it!
