[Bug 23946] Lift the ban on query parts in “blob:” URIs

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23946

--- Comment #3 from Manuel Strehl <org.w3@manuel-strehl.de> ---
The problem with use cases is often, that they might to rise only after
implementation was completed... One possible future use however that I just
remembered: The SVG WG thought about parametrized SVG in 2010, where the query
part determines part of the layout of an SVG image. Something along

    image.svg?mycolor=red

    <rect fill="{$mycolor}"/>

or similar. I haven't heard about writing that to a spec since, but this or
other uses of static content listening or depending on the query may come to be
in the future. (The probability rises the more we slid into a server-less
time.) Then blob URLs are all of a sudden the IE6 of URI schemes, so to say.
