If you do it properly, you won't in most of the cases.

And BTW: I thought your goal was to make the BE *look* better.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you have to use CSS3 techniques to
achieve that goal, when the official policy is, that TYPO3 will run with IE6
as a "client".

In this case the "fix" of these issues will be: Removing the CSS3 stuff and
replacing it with CSS2 stuff that is working for all browsers supported by
TYPO3. So why should I accept a patch then, that introduces a lot of
unnecessary stuff, that would be removed later on anyway.

These are the rules we will stick to while cleaning up the code:

BTW: I still doubt that a lot of identical data:url encoded images will be
significantly faster than delivering one real image that can be taken from
cache for each following instance.
