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.
