[OpenLayers-Users] Is it possible to show a subsection (sprite) of an image as a marker?

[matt.woodard at zsassociates.com]

My application has 100 marker images that I want to display on the Map.  I
don't want to force to user to download 100 images.  A technique that has
worked for other graphic intensive sites, is to send all the markers down as
sprites in a single image (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/sprites), and
use CSS to control which part of the image is shown for every marker. 

Does OpenLayers have support for these sorts of techniques in the Vector
Layer?  If not, is it possible to use custom html as a marker instead of a
graphic?
