Yes, of course you can do stuff like this, although it gets pretty ugly and bloated if you have a lot of images. The point of Betsie is that it can be retrofitted to existing websites without the need to modify any code.
It also caters for people who are working on a machine that is not configured to their needs and cannot be altered e.g. in an Internet cafe or a locked-down machine in someone else's office. Your image replacement technique does not cater for these situations unless you also add a style switcher, but that appears to be taboo in this list.
