It's not just what a couple processors "want".

That is what the XSL spec requires (though some processors
will recover from the error of omitting the url() part by
inferring it), and all processors should properly handle such.

[There is another question of what a relative path is relative to,
but that's orthogonal to the syntax for the src property.]
