This would degrade safely in current browsers and we wouldn't have to create *-sandboxed variant of every MIME type. Additionally, data+sandbox: could specify restrictions as part of the URL itself, which would decouple it from <iframe> and make it potentially useful with other elements (e.g. to (dis)allow scripts in SVG in <img>). -- regards, Kornel Lesiński
