It is true that src="url('TH0317A.jpg')" would probably make
a better example.  I did not write this example, and I did
not notice this until you mentioned it.

However, I believe src="'url(TH0317A.jpg)'" should also be 
valid.  The double quotes are just part of being an XML 
attribute, and then the single quotes make the attribute 
value a string.  The uri-specification datatype says it's 
a sequence of characters, so a string should be a valid 
value, and the quotes inside the url() part are optional.
