Providing CSS sprite support would be (I guess) just a service for modules/extensions to use, just as a part of the proposed client resource manager(?). So the mediawiki or an extension can put in a request for a some stylesheet or javascript be linked to, it could also request for images possibly via CSS sprites. So don't see how it should cause a problem. Jared _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
