I don't use those FIR method myself all that much, although I've helped debug some of the existing methods. But based on use cases (either found through casual surfing, or via questions raised on mailing lists such as CSS-D), I'd say: the content property would cover most of them. Basically, what people are looking for is replace the text-string in an element with an image, because they want to use a specific font or some effects on the text and other such graphical tricks. @font-face will also help solving this problem in more sane ways.
