The CSS3 "content" property is a grey semantic area IMHO. If you have hn content in the markup and adjust the presentation in the CSS like colours, fonts and backgrounds,
Then what's so unsound about styling the content with an image, this is not content in my mind it is presentation, because it provides ornamentation (what CSS was designed to do) whilst preserving the element it was applied to. If the author ensures the image only does replacement, in other words no extra content is included in the image, then by removing the style sheet you don't lose anything but presentation. I agree with the idea that using the content property for adding content is a bad idea, but using content for replacement is not so bad as everyone is making out. Anyway since only a couple of browsers support this, its not a real alternative, yet...
