I think the goal you mention can be done now, just not with sprites.

FRUA had some anims (5 frames IIRC) that would play through once, then loop 3-5. I think this can already be simulated with two pics, followed by a 3-frame anim, but I haven't tried it to see how well.

I heartily agree about transparency! This would allow "Sprites" to be used with different walls, which would improve flexibility without incurring serious Art Bloat.
