I've been experimenting with BIR for a while now with little
problems. It's especially good for the sites I work on that are
likely to be visited by people on dial-up connections. With BIR, the
actual text sits there while heading graphics load.
To get it to work with other backgrounds, I just set a z-index of 1
to the body and the wrap that surrounds the fixed-width, centered
layout and a z-index of -1 to the H1 span.
You can see it in action at http://rhythm.dummied.net/nea (keep in
mind, this site's still very much a work in progress and by no means
complete). CSS is at http://rhythm.dummied.net/nea/css/styles-
site.css (CSS is also in the pre-clean up stage, so forgive all the
untidiness of it).

This was proposed before and I believe it fails when you place the
headings
in floated/positioned elements with backgrounds. Problem is, how
do you
position the text under the heading background, but not under the
heading's
parent element (and background). Position the heading at z-index:2
and the
text at -1? Give it a shot?
