 ## URL Handling
 
-The Word node has special handling for URLs that appear outside of function contexts. When a standalone URL is encountered in a CSS value, it is parsed as a Word node with the `isUrl` property set to `true`. This is different from URLs that appear within `url()` functions.
+URL values are represented as `Word` nodes. Use `isUrl` to determine whether a `Word` is a URL value, and use `isParseableUrl` to determine whether the URL string itself is parseable.
+
+For `url(...)`, quoted and unquoted absolute URLs normalize to the same `value`.
 
 ```js
 import { parse } from 'postcss-values-parser';
 
-const root = parse('https://example.com');
-const wordNode = root.nodes[0];
-
-console.log(wordNode.type); // 'word'
-console.log(wordNode.isUrl); // true
-console.log(wordNode.value); // 'https://example.com'
