Indeed, the WG resolved[1] to make this change and to errata CSS21.

Here's my attempt at a proposal for CSS21.

In G.2 (Lexical scanner), replace:

   # baduri1    url\({w}([!#$%&*-\[\]-~]|{nonascii}|{escape})*{w}
   # baduri2    url\({w}{string}{w}
   # baduri3    url\({w}{badstring}

with:

   | baduri1    {U}{R}{L}\({w}([!#$%&*-\[\]-~]|{nonascii}|{escape})*{w}
   | baduri2    {U}{R}{L}\({w}{string}{w}
   | baduri3    {U}{R}{L}\({w}{badstring}

and replace :

   # "url("{w}{string}{w}")"  {return URI;}
   # "url("{w}{url}{w}")"     {return URI;}

with

   | {U}{R}{L}"("{w}{string}{w}")"  {return URI;}
   | {U}{R}{L}"("{w}{url}{w}")"     {return URI;}


In 4.1.1 (Tokenization), replace:

   # URI    url\({w}{string}{w}\)
   #        |url\({w}([!#$%&*-\[\]-~]|{nonascii}|{escape})*{w}\)

with:

   | URI    {U}{R}{L}\({w}{string}{w}\)
   |        |{U}{R}{L}\({w}([!#$%&*-\[\]-~]|{nonascii}|{escape})*{w}\)

and replace:

   # baduri1    url\({w}([!#$%&*-~]|{nonascii}|{escape})*{w}
   # baduri2    url\({w}{string}{w}
   # baduri3    url\({w}{badstring}

with:

   | baduri1    {U}{R}{L}\({w}([!#$%&*-~]|{nonascii}|{escape})*{w}
   | baduri2    {U}{R}{L}\({w}{string}{w}
   | baduri3    {U}{R}{L}\({w}{badstring}

and insert the following at the end of the list of macros:

   | L    l|\\0{0,4}(4c|6c)(\r\n|[ \t\r\n\f])?|\\l
   | R    r|\\0{0,4}(52|72)(\r\n|[ \t\r\n\f])?|\\r
   | U    u|\\0{0,4}(55|75)(\r\n|[ \t\r\n\f])?|\\u


Note that I lifted the last bit directly from G.2.
