Yes.

However, I wonder if this at a standards level should come into play
in the URL parser. After all that creates a structured clone of the
blob in question. The lookup for the blob ID should probably fail at
that point meaning it does not really matter when you then try to
fetch that URL as it will simply not have an associated blob.
