It is clearly out of spec. I'll submit a bug report, as they seem not to
monitor this forum. I will be happy to learn otherwise.

Nothing ready to show, but it's an easy demo:
body {
background-image: url(./foo.gif);
}
If foo.gif and the HTML file are not in the same directory, this fails in
NS4.01, MacOS, regardless of the relative location of the CSS file.
