 * Has there been any research or development on updating CE to parse CSS code to
   provide WEBP image support for CSS defined images?
 * IMO, this is a pretty big issue. Background images are defined in CSS all the
   time and being they are background, are normally larger in dimensions than most
   other images on a site. That’s something the WEBP could definitely help out with.
 * Fingers crossed

 * As it happens, WebP Express does support the replacement of background images
   as defined in CSS or loaded dynamically via JScript.
