As filed the bug is about table backgrounds failing to print. The root cause of this is that we load images from the original document, because print/print-preview documents (which are static clones of the original) cannot do loads. This results in an entry in the css::ImageValue's request table under the original document, but entry under the printing document. Then we do layout, try to get the request, and fail, and nothing is displayed. The solution to this is to force us to clone the request for the printing document if we're loading off the original document. I manually verified that this does not regress Bug 560235.
While writing a test for this, we discovered another problem. The reftest print code does not actually use the printing codepath. Instead it takes an existing document, tears down its presshell, and creates a new presshell for printing. Fixing the above bug did not make the reftest print test pass because ImageLoader does not deal properly with presshell destruction/recreation. It assumes that when the presshell is destroyed all of the css::ImageValues can be cleared of their entries for that document. This fails for ImageValues for mapped attributes because they are held alive by the content tree. When a new presshell for this document is then created there is no entry for the document and thus no image request to paint. The fix for this is to only clear the frame to request and request to frame mapping hashtables and not to clear the document's entry on the ImageValue when the presshell is destroyed. The destruction of the ImageLoader (which is held from a strong reference on the document) is when those entries are removed. The final change is to change css::ImageValue's hashtable from holding a strong reference to the keys (which are documents) to holding raw pointer references. This is safe because we clear the relevant entry when the corresponding ImageLoader dies, and is needed to prevent a reference cycle that was being broken by presshell destruction.

The nsCSSValue in nsGenericHTMLElement::MapBackgroundInto is a temporary. This causes a problem after Bug 697230 landed, because the nsCSSValue::Image we put into that value is destroyed once we're done doing style stuff. Previously the nsImageLoader would grab the request off the nsCSSValue::Image and hold it alive. Bug 697230 changed the behavior here; now when the nsCSSValue::Image is destroyed it tells the image loader to drop the request. The result is that all the references to the request are dropped and the frame is never told it has a background.
The solution is to keep the nsCSSValue::Image alive longer. This patch adds two new types of nsAttrValue. The first is an nsCSSValue::URL. A ParseBackgroundAttribute method is added on nsGenericHTMLElement that the relevant elements (body/td/th/table/tr/tbody/thead/tfoot) call that parses background into an nsCSSValue::URL. The second is an nsCSSValue::Image. nsGenericHTMLElement::MapBackgroundInto attempts to convert the nsCSSValue::URL into an nsCSSValue::Image by kicking off the image load. The result is that image loads are only started when the element is actually visible. This also mirrors the way background-image works. This also allows us to fix two longstanding bugs in this code. Since MapBackgroundInto doesn't have a pointer to the actual element, it relied on grabbing the principal of the document. Now we can grab the principal of the node in ParseBackgroundAttribute. MapBackgroundInto also has no way to get at the element's base URI (to honor xml:base), which is now possible in ParseBackgroundAttribute.
nsCSSValue::[Image|URL] have also been moved to be mozilla::css::[Image|URL]Value. nsAttrValue.h is included in external linkage code, so it can't include nsCSSValue.h to get the declarations of nsCSSValue::[Image|URL], and nested classes can't be forward declared. Moving the classes to a namespace solves the problem.
Finally some old inoperative quirks mode code was removed. This code has done nothing since Bug 273078 was landed in 2004.
In the new setup, the mURL member of nsCSSValue::URL stores either the actual URI pointed to or the base URI; a boolean flag keeps track of which is stored. Consumers use GetURI() to get the URI instead of raw access to mURI, and GetURI calls NS_NewURI as needed.
