Are unused CSS images downloaded by the browser or ignored?

Eg. in CSS rules which don’t match any elements.

    This would be browser dependent, since it’s how they decide to implement the spec, however in a quick test here:

    • Chrome: Doesn’t
    • FireFox: Doesn’t
    • Safari: Doesn’t
    • IE8: Doesn’t
    • IE7: Doesn’t
    • IE6: Unknown (Can someone test and comment?)
