Yes, a clarification would be nice, but I don't think it's essential at this point.
If you upload a PNG with alpha, it's displayed with a black background and no transparency. From this I conclude that the "(no alpha)" label on the form component is accurate. At the same time, it's so alien to have an icon without an alpha channel, that I've assumed it's a temporary limitation of the market application that will be rectified (hopefully soon). The approach I've taken is to produce my 512x512 icons with an alpha channel, but then export them with a white background before uploading. This guarantees I'll have to upload them again, but it seems safest if the icon is to be used on a Google website. Tom.
