Thanks, Thierry, that's very cool, I'll give it a try. I didn't know
that referencing two background images for the same selector in this
way would download both of them. (Do you recall if you stumbled on
this yourself or got the idea from someone else?)
I still lean toward using a single composite background image and
changing background-position on hover because of the lesser download
weight, but I'll add this technique to my bag o' tricks.

Paul
