Unfortunately, this is not that easy or probably just impossible.
Turns out, that for that particular page (and most likely for other
pages which have this problem), the background of table heading is
specified through table class (hence, CSS):
in mediawiki:
{| class="standard"
in html:
<table class="standard">
So, there can be no way to provide non-alpha transparent image to
satisfy all possible styles. And alpha-transparency won't do the
trick for styles with black background. Duh!
I think we cannot do something sensible now, so we'll just have to
wait for MathML support from most popular browsers.
