Hi Tab, >The "serialize a URL" idiom is just a definition invoked locally by >the spec. When you serialize a CSS value, use the >#serialize-a-css-value definition; the <uri> clause defines how to >serialize it. (It just invokes the "serialize a URL" definition.) Looking back over the spec, it looks like my confusion stemmed from misreading the line <uri> The absolute URL URL escaped [1] I read ³URL escaped² as ³URL encoded² rather than ³serialized as a url² [2], which is what the spec links to. If this is a common misreading, it might be worth changing the language to something along the lines of: <uri> The absolute URL, serialized But, it could just be me. Thanks again for clearing this up for me. -Bear [1] http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom/#serializing-css-values [2] http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom/#serialize-a-url > >~TJ
