It would be convenient if CSS will have 'background-image-frame: "string" '
property. PNG and other image formats support annotated/taged/named
sub-images so in principle they can be used as image-lists - single-file 
collections of
multiple images / frames.
CSS "sprites" as a workaround are quite popular among Web designers
but current solution [1] looks more like a hack rather than a solution.
This:
  #panel1b a { background: url(test-3.jpg) "normal" no-repeat; }
  #panel1b a:hover { background-image-frame: "hover"; }
  #panel1b a:active { background-image-frame: "active"; }
