Yup. For just about any chunk, there is a get/set pair in the reference
implementation. The GIMP could easily figure out when the alpha is binary
(to use tRNS rather than RGBA), but picking out an unused color to represent
transparent that is acceptible to the user, applications, and further
editing is an impossible (or difficult) task.
IE ignores tRNS when you aren't in palette mode, anytime you added some of
that color to an image, it would turn transparent seperate from what you
expect, etc.

Glad I could help.
