Double b or sharp are used to play a note in the appropriate scale : for 
instance, a cisis before a dis, in a \key with lots of sharps. Writing a 
d natural wouldn't make sense in that case (natural d doesn't fit with 
the scale). That works for the double signs, but triple signs don't make 
sense, if they are used that way, especially in piano music.... You can 
meet triple signs in contemporary music, with quarter sharps, and so on.

Well that's the theory, and maybe there's a Chopin passage that shows 
the contrary !
