No, URLs wouldn't be a problem, even if '//' had a special meaning in
CSS. The quotes may be optional, but the 'url(' part is not. In fact,
'url(' and ')' act very much like quotes: the whole string, from
'url(' until the next ')' is a single token in CSS.
(This is different from other functional notations, such as rgb() or
lang(), whose parameters are tokenized.)
