My read on Blobs was that it up to the UA as to where the actual bits
were stored.  That means disk if the UA chooses, though virtual memory
would be my first conclusion, I see no reason for preventing the use
of the filesystem directly.

I believe that the Blob concept is intentionally vague in this regard.
 Given that there are no explicit performance constraints, in the
extreme case I don't see why a Blob couldn't be saved in cloud storage
with some local caching.  The performance might suffer a little, but I
don't see any need to expressly prevent it.
