In cases you only need to change one. See:
<http://www.nundroo.com/nav_matrix/welcome2.html>
<http://www.nundroo.com/nav_matrix/style2.css>
Simple example:
/* ... */
ul#nav a{
background:url(/images/navigation.png);
}
/* ... */
ul#nav li#media a:link{
background-position:0 -240px;
}
ul#nav li#media a:visited{
background-position:-120px -240px;
}
ul#nav li#media a:link:hover{
background-position:-240px -240px;
}
ul#nav li#media a:visited:hover{
background-position:-360px -240px;
}
/* ... */
This list goes on with similar selectors, but slightly different:
ul#nav li#news a:link{
background-position:0 -120px;
}
Only changing one of the two values would be very helpful and make it
the code easier to edit.
