No, there are times where a widget or resource does not have _any_  
meaningful origin URL, e.g. an unsigned and untrusted widget/zip retrieved  
over MMS or bluetooth, or copied on to a device in terms of direct  
filesystem access.  Are you proposing UA's should then make up that origin  
URL as a HTTP URI?
