Opera seems to be the only browser to support this kind of code :
img#myImage:hover{
   content:url('myImage.png');
}

I don't know if it is part of the spec but I could be quite useful to dynamically change an image without using JavaScript.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
The image is replaced by another one.
It's not in the current specs, no.  There have been some proposals for a CSS3 Generated Content module that might have allowed doing this, but they seem to have been abandoned.
