No it isn't! that's why Sebastian (and I) queried the syntax in your
example. The href (now src) attribute takes a URI argument, the fact
that the equivalent CSS construction uses url() is not relevant.

in CSS, but this is XSL

A URI is defined by the relevant RFC, the fact that CSS URI type
uses some CSS syntax is reasonable in the context of CSS but no more
relevant to XSL than the fact that XSL uses XML attribute value syntax
for URIs is relevant to CSS.
