They aren't that popular yet, but there are several editing programs for them.
Read about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG (I'm providing this link to educate users on what an APNG is, so please don't delete it  )
APNG would be better than animated GIFs for animation because it supports more than 256 colors.
Wondering if anyone else would like to see this implemented? |

Among the maintainers of the PNG and MNG formats, APNG was not received that well for several reasons. MNG provides all the features APNG provides, but is not supported at all by PNG-only decoders. APNG uses a technically feasible solution for storing any frames except the first, but some of the PNG group feel this conflicts with the purpose of the PNG format — which is to store a single image. APNG would be compatible to this vision with alterations to its signature and intended MIME type, but these would break the desired backwards compatibility.
The PNG group officially rejected APNG as an official extension on April 20, 2007.[2]

Your link tells us that the standard was rejected.
There is little point in implementing a rejected standard when people are not even prepared to use MNG.
