One other problem with doing this: While [CSS 2 defined <code>url()</code> containing quoted urls as URI tokens](https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/syndata.html#tokenization), this has changed in css-syntax-3, which [defines <code>url()</code> containing quoted url as a function token plus the normally-tokenized arguments](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-syntax/#consume-ident-like-token). I presume this change is to support the [<url-modifier> concept in css-values-3](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-3/#urls). Given those definitions, only some <code>url()</code> functions are actually tokens. So the underlying mechanism for describing this would need to be further from the way the spec works. (Although maybe not further implementations, since Gecko and possibly other implementations of variables actually store strings rather than token streams, since a string can always be turned back into a token stream, and it's more compact.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by dbaron Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/757#issuecomment-266259178 using your GitHub account
