> It is important to note that spriting images won’t always be necessary and/or possible. I’m not saying you should do it all the time, and I am saying you quite often can’t (fluid images, for example). It’s just another possible tool to put in your toolbox.
Any obvious exceptions to the rule – or any obvious contexts in which any advice would not work – I do try and mention.

holds really well for the first example (being unable to move away from IDs due to various constraints), it doesn't seem to hold up so well for the latter example. I guess most people do care if their logo is not visible when being printed, and if is hidden in google searches. So, would that mean that it's the author's context which is away from the norm here?
The ‘away from the norm’ bit refers only to the first example:
> In the first case […] this is your context which is away from the norm.
It’s not always about the norm, but about differing context. In the second example the context is balancing performance and semantics. If your context is more concerned with brand image etc then that’s the difference (nothing to do with norms, really) :)
(I hope I worded that okay, it felt very clumsy!)
I'll make a point of reading your other posts, they seem to be pretty interesting.
D’oh! I’ll try reword it when I get a chance :)

Cool, let’s hope they deliver!
Cheers for your feedback :)
