BTW, you should be able to add a
<c:set var="cp" value="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/>
to your page so you can just write:
body {
background:
url(#{cp}/images/background.jpg);
}

I simply solved it by doing

contentType="*/*">
<f:verbatim> ....thecss ...</f:verbatim>
</f:view>
It didn't htmlescape my special characters, and now my CSSS is valid
again + I have the power of EL expressions inside CSS
I can now simply use EL expressions to get all the images inside my CSS
files aligned with the context path, which was my main intention;
body {
background:
url(#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/images/background.jpg);
}
Probably not the most obvious use-case, but EL expressions offer
functionality which sometimes could be
used beyond the scope of XML-type languages.
