I think it is quite possible, but that would have to get proven by 
someone. I am not a designer but I know the enormous amount of work it 
would take to get together a whole matching proper icon set for the 
whole BE.

Well but as far as I understood your description of the sprite manager 
API it should be possible. AFAIK one can add SVG images as background 
image into css. At least when using firefox.

I think modern browsers could handles this quite well. At least firefox 
renders SVG images like a piece of curtain burns when its soaked with 
petrol :) I think they also cache the pixelgraphic they rendered at some 
specific magnification.
