What kind of use cases does this enable and are we sure those are best-served with `data:` URLs? `data:` URLs are not without issue, especially for larger payloads. They also don't work well with the kind of security UI browsers try to provide. I'd be rather hesitant to enshrine them further if (potentially novel) alternative solutions can perhaps provide for better UI and performance.
