#2Checking it out.
This should be interesting. CSS Spriting was made way manageable with Lemon, a Compass plugin which later became part of Compass Sprite.
The few limitations on the part of Compass Sprite, had always let me do my own sprite, I usually like those tightly packed image sprites.

#6This makes no sense to me. It assumes that I'll attach the icon to it's own HTML element because it sets the width and height explicitly. Adding icons to your links won't work this way.
Generating useful sprites is much harder than this guy thinks IMHO.

csssprites is much more complicated to use but will take image alignments into account which makes it the more useful tool.

Where Glue generates the CSS for you, csssprites seems to expect you to first add all the sprites as backgrounds to the CSS rules you want to use, and then annotate them with comments and then process your CSS to replace those rules with suitable rules.
Glue on the other hand generates the CSS for you, but expect you add a CSS class to the elements that should contain the sprites (or you can modify the generated CSS of course).
