It seems like a simpler syntax would be more like
@sprite <id> { <image>; <number>+; <number>+ }
There's no need for explicit property-like names in a special at-rule like this.
This seems cleaner and easier to use than the other CSS sprite
proposals I've seen. It's somewhat inflexible, but that's not likely
to be a big issue for the most part, and you could always mix it with
other approaches.
