I know, it's not the best to have multiple definitions. But we also have  
this for some IE filter stuff.

I also don't share opionion that modern browsers should run with old tears  
for ages, because of stupid IE users.
IMHO data-uris are okay for few-byte-graphics. Defining a fallback is also  
no problem.
This saves HTTP requests for browsers, which can deal with it.
