Is using the logo tag in sprites good or bad?

Question

Answer 1

I think you should stick with the tag until Google invents "Background Image Search" -- a service that searches background images, breaks sprites into individual images and intelligently distinguishes between decorative and meaningful images by analyzing CSS.

Edit: Ask yourself this question: is your logo something you want to emphasize upon; or is it just another decoration. Answer and implement accordingly.
