data: cannot be used (it's been explained before), but perhaps new URI  
scheme could be created instead (e.g. data+sandbox)? 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>).
