In this case you got me... what sense does it make? If there is no 
reference to original blob or any other object using that URL, why is it 
kept?

so just a line
URL.createObjectUrl(blob)
creates a memory leak? Heh?

Which brink me to my previous question, what happened to Blob.URL? Just 
brink it back and this whole conversation can go away...
