[Bug 17765] APIs need to take a reference to blob data underlying object URLs

I fully agree, but for reasons I don't understand there was pushback against
that.

You couldn't use that with CSS url(), but I'm not familiar enough with CSS
parsing to know if that could ever work anyway (eg. whether CSS parsing happens
synchronously when inserting a <style> element--if not, there's no chance to
grab a reference).

It'd require adding new entry points to every API that takes a URL, so the
surface area might be a lot higher.
