No, you don't.

BODY {  background: lightgrey url(bgimage.png) no-repeat 1in 1in }

displays a light grey background with the image "bgimage.png" superimposed
on it, offset 1 inch by 1 inch, and is perfectly valid CSS/1.

And then don't set anything regarding the background for non-CSS browsers.

If you need any special versions (such as a text version) when you're
using CSS, You're Doing It Wrong(tm).
