It is said that:
"A rarely discussed advantage of CSS is the ability to layer background images, allowing them to slide over each other to create certain effects. CSS2âs current state requires a separate HTML element for each background image. In many cases, typical markup for common interface components has already provided several elements for our use.""

I am sure that many of you already knew this technique. It seems that it could be a simpler and faster way to code menu buttons and other elements without the need to use external image data icons and/or javascript snippets.
Working examples of this code are widely available. A good example may be found if you insert the sentence "New look for the buttons available" in the Search slot of the Drupal site (http://drupal.org/search)
* Simpler, CSS based code, besides being more standard is faster and more robust. *
You may see an example of clean and standard XHTML and CSS code in this page: http://e-healthexpert.org/
Now, just scroll down to the footer of the page click XHTML or CSS. Did you got clean code?
In the European Union the accessibility and non-exclusion rules to disabled people are mandatory. State owned Hospitals or Health Centers just can't ignore that. But doing the right thing could help users in the rest of the world, disabled or not.
Now try the same XHTML validation with the Care2x demos, for instance this: http://tinyurl.com/5vdvj
Although it has clean CSS, the HTML contents is very dirty.
