An important question. Would this:
background-image: url('sprites.png#xywh=10,30,60,20');
still show the sprite in new UAs? Or would the #xywh thing be
restricted to urls in image()?
This matters for things outside CSS proper that are mapped into style;
for example HTML 'background' attributes, by the way.
The spec draft sounds like this would work for url() too; that seems
like it might cause behavior changes in existing pages...
And things get really interesting if the image is an SVG, where a ref
already means something entirely different.
It may be worth it to allow the new syntax inside image().
