In case anyone else is wondering, the reason using CSS is a bad idea is that it would put browsers in a tricky situation where they'd need to either: * Wait for all CSS to be downloaded and parsed before starting image downloads, making page loads slower. * Pre-fetch images while downloading and parsing CSS, potentially wasting bandwidth.
