* Removes a few RTTs for non-pipelining clients
Do you mean to imply that there's such a thing as a pipelining client on the real web? (Okay, okay, Opera.) This concern seems like it outweighs all the others put together pretty handily -- especially for script files that aren't at the end, which block page loading.
- Automatically create CSS sprites?
That would be neat, but perhaps a bit tricky.
Just trying to think how it'd work.
Given a CSS selector, and an image, should be able to construct a stylesheet which sets the background property of the css rules and an single image.
(#toolbar-copy, toolbar-copy.png) (#toolbar-copy:hover, toolbar-copy-hover.png)
And the generated stylesheet would get concatenated with other stylesheets.
