Re: [XHR] Content-Length header for data: URLs

That's true for <img src="data:..."> too. Technically that's also not
needed. Same with <img src="blob:...">

I think there's a lot of value in ensuring that all URL schemes work
in all APIs that handle URLs. Otherwise the concept of a URL sort of
falls apart.
