W3C has a Media Fragments WG, maybe that's a better place to discuss
sprites. CSS doesn't seem the right place to define how to refer to
fragments of external resources. E.g., if sub-images are useful in CSS,
then how about in SMIL, SVG, or HTML? For example:
<img src="foo.png#xywh=12,20,10,10" alt=...>
(This syntax is one of the proposals under discussion. See
http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-media-frags-reqs-20090430/#naming-space
for details.)
The mailing list of the Media Fragments WG is
<public-media-fragment@w3.org>
