Anticipated use would be to have a function that autogenerates  
separate CSS file with images based on browser (IE vs. other  
browsers).  This CSS file could be cached so not only would it save  
image requests, but that CSS file would only need to be grabbed once.

Use in DIMP initially since manipulating images may require javascript  
(haven't worked out details yet).

Alternative is to rewrite image tags in Horde::img with data  
information if browser supported and/or image below certain size.  To  
avoid costly file lookups/processing, the base64 representations of  
the images could be cached server-side.
