TIFF does support unassociated (simple) alpha but the TIFF specification does not define how it should be applied to the image to obtain a viewable result.

Thanks, I thought TIFF only did associated alpha, but your answer prompted me to re-read the description of the ExtraSamples tag and find out how to specify unassociated alpha. Not that I need it anytime soon, but it's good to know. :-)
