This is an attractive direction that could help with the revocation
problem (and maybe even spare some IANA work with
registering/formalizing blob: if in the end we abandon URL strings, but
I'd rather not skip ahead). I'm in favor of vendor-prefixing the
create*URL revoke*URL methods, but I leave that to implementers.
