[whatwg] Inconsistent behavior for empty-string URLs

I agree, automatic downloads are the real issue. <a href=""> is fine
because a user must initiate the action (and thus generate a "real"
pageview).
I'd think that the behavior should be the same in CSS and SVG for
resources that are automatically downloaded.

I think it shouldn't apply to markup that doesn't download things
automatically; in particular <a href=""> should work.
What about URLs in CSS and SVG?
