http://www.websitedev.de/temp/rfc3986-check.html.gz tells me the string
above is a URI, so you are asking whether you can use URLs inside url().

If I understand you correctly, you are saying that the specification
does not adequately explain that url("http://example.org/") refers to 
<http://example.org/>.
