File API: auto-revoking blob URLs from Anne van Kesteren on 2013-04-15 (public-webapps@w3.org from April to June 2013)

So blob URLs are auto-revoked by default after the current script
stops running. However, every fetch operation in existence (apart from
synchronous XMLHttpRequest) does so asynchronous.

So

<img>.src = blobURL

might very well start fetching at the point blobURL is already cleaned up.

We need a different solution here. I'm not really sure what the
solution is, but autoRevoke as-is does not work.
