 Replying to [comment:40 azaozz], helenyhou and scribu:

 Sound fair. Would a standard template be 28x54 pixels image and twice as
 large for 2x? If that's the case we can also have a default for the
 background size argument, which would leave the regular url (and 2x url
 for 2x) as the only required fields. If we want columns we'll need an
 optional columns arg that should go together with a background size (or
 columns count?)

 {{{
 'menu_icon' => array(
         'image_url' => '.../sprite.png',
 ),
 }}}

 {{{
 'menu_icon' => array(
         'image_url' => '.../sprite.png',
         'image_url_2x' => '.../sprite-2x.png',
 ),
 }}}

 {{{
 'menu_icon' => array(
         'image_url' => '.../sprite.png',
         'image_url_2x' => '.../sprite-2x.png',
         'size' => '84, 56', // three columns,
         'column' => 2,
 ),
 }}}

 Or maybe drop the size and use columns instead:

 {{{
 'menu_icon' => array(
         'image_url' => '.../sprite.png',
         'image_url_2x' => '.../sprite-2x.png',
         'columns' => 3, // 84x56 image
         'column' => 2,
 ),
 }}}

 Would this be simple enough to understand and use?
