That seems like a very bad idea. Treating "?" in a data URL seems surprising
and a source of subtle bugs. It seems much less useful to be able to pass
"search" parameters to a page by prepending "?..." to a data: URL than to be
able to use '?' characters inside the URL itself.

However I think data-URLs are special (probably together with javascript URLs).
I have no problem with supporting query parameters in data URLs.
