Hi Robert!
for icons such as checkstyles, changes-plugin, ... that technique
cannot be applied because the generated reports explicitly refer to
images.

We can apply anyway the sprites to links - where we are already using
background images with extra space, take a look at maven/theme.css[1]
- what I was not able to do is that using an absolute background
position, to retail only the icon I am interested, it is not possible
to use the `right center` alignment... :(
Any hint?

TIA!!!
Simo
