I think so too.

A TileMap with Sprites is pretty simple:
----
class Tile : Sprite {
     // ... more features
}

Each Tile is stored on fixed points on the screen and represent 
the Tile-Image.

But maybe I will implement the old TileMap implementation again. 
;)
Let's see.

That's not possible in the near future. ;) Sorry. But an 
interesting idea.
