I usually have a "standard" sprite which contains icons that never

where the required browser support didn't let me get away with
using CSS3 drop shadows.

Thanks Elizabeth! Guess there are quite a few factors to consider.
Seems like I'll have to determine the best approach to use after
some experimentation.
Yes. One consideration is the technique you use to add sprite images. My
favorite technique for most - not all - is to add them using :before or
:after content, and to position the pseudo-element absolutely.

David would mind sharing some links to the various techniques you have/there
are for implementing sprites? Or point to some resources? As a developer who
believes in a progressive web I no longer support IE6 nor do I target anything
lower than 3.6 in FF so those are two less browsers to worry about.
