User agents start to allow fetching of data URLs in the context of
XMLHttpRequest. That has implications for
status/statusText/getResponseHeader()/getAllResponseHeaders(). Those
implications need to be defined. Ideally in the data URL standard just like
they are for blob URLs, but otherwise maybe in XMLHttpRequest for now.

Henri also suggested adding a note to those four members to point out this
issue to implementors.
