This might be a bit theoretical; but it's ramifications are eminently
practical for me as I try to implement CSS in a corporate environment.

I currently need to make a case for using CSS background images with
text used for responsible image replacement. There is text in the HTML
which is actual content, and it is replaced through CSS with
background images. Garden variety stuff post-Zen Garden, but I find
myself needing to defend these images as they are being labeled
"content."

The solutions that are possible for the need to present graphical text are:

1) CSS background images in an external style sheet with image replacement
2) deprecated background attributes on HTML tags
3) inline styles which contain the background images
4) actual table markup with the actual image and alt text in the HTML

Are there other possibilities I haven't listed? Items 2, 3, and 4 are
all technically in the HTML document, item 1 is outside, in a
presentation file.

So, why AREN'T css background images content? (or why are they, if
you're so inclined).
