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.
