They are! That is, at the time the method URL.createObjectURL(blob) is called on blob, that method adds an entry to the Blob URL Store: 
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/#add-an-entry

I’ve only defined identifier extraction for use with adding an entry. Is that wrong?

Yes, this is when URL parser *checks* the Blob URL Store, *after* entries have either been added or are not present (which generates a network error).

Since adding scheme data as an identifer to the Blob URL Store is the requirement, we only use the basic URL parser to get the scheme data from a generated URL to add to the Blob URL Store.
