But since the URL of the stylesheet is not an especially useful thing
to hang a hash value (or whatever that's actually called) on, I was
thinking it would be more like the path and filename would form
something like a "base URL" for a property, once it was assigned to
that property to indicate an image file. If CSS declared this to be
the case, would it really be a problem for the RFCs or any existing
style sheets?
