wow, thats a great idea thanks! we didn't consider to use css3 yet 
because it's not finished yet, and it's not widley supported. but if we 
can split that up, why not!

yes, that would be perfect for the browser that support these selectors.

ie needs another span for that, otherwise the icons flicker on hover. 
but anyway: thats one of *my* (not plones yet) plans for 2.1 to dis or 
enable some things with javascript.

so +1 for all that from me!

another note for our developers:
i cleaned up our wiki (http://plone.org/development/teams/ui/) a bit and 
wanted to make a CSS Geddon page to note what techniques we should use 
for what in 2.1. see: http://plone.org/development/teams/ui/IssuesFor21
