I can see AssetCompress supporting sprite generation for css icons etc.
There are usually dozens to hundreds of small images embedded via css - probably mainly as background-image.
Not sure if that's outside the scope of this plugin. But combining those hundreds of files in a single sprite and adding the x,y coordinates to the css on output would dramatically reduce file hits on the system.
