image references in CSS files

I think image references in CSS files (e.g. "background-image: url(etc)") entail different considerations.

On the one hand, you don't need to worry that you can't use ezimage() inside a CSS file, because since URLs in CSS files are relative to the file's location, you can just use "url(../images/etc.gif)" to get to the images directory from your stylesheets directory.

On the other hand, this means that the URL is hard-coded -- if there's no etc.gif in the main design, the fallback designs won't be checked for it. It will simply get a 404.
