The process here is that you start at the beginning of a string and then
check if whatever it starts with is an IDENT or a STRING or a URI or ...
and from the possibilities you find you pick the longest match and then
start over to find the next token. If the string is "url(/*)" then you
have the possibilities
* IDENT ("url")
* FUNCTION ("url(")
* URI ("url(/*)")
Since matching URI consumes the most characters, you pick that and then
start over after the URI token. So this is not a special case, it's the
same as if you'd had url(example.png). I believe that answers all three
questions.
