Description
One of the use cases for #6544 is to provide a QR code that, when scanned, would be the URL of the current document. But apparently there's no way to get the URL of the current document from CSS.
From #css today:
[18:33] <hober> Ooooh, very simple CSS question that I apparently don't
know the answer to: How can I, from CSS, get a URL to
the current document? Not the current stylesheet, the
current document. What to pass to url()?
[18:36] <cbiesinger> I didn't think that was possible
[18:39] <hober> oh, booo. filed

Done requires a resolved specification direction, not just an implementation change.
