I wish I was more familiar with the problems you are alluding too. I
can definitely see how you do not want to simply load data URLs you
did not create yourself in any context. But e.g. loading a (random)
data URL in <img> and then drawing it on <canvas> and analyzing the
data is fine. Putting a (random) data URL in <iframe> is asking for
trouble, but putting a trusted one there is fine and not different
from <iframe srcdoc>.

Adam, Paul, is Chrome not interested in aligning its data URL handling
with other browsers? In particular, inheriting the parent's origin. Is
there more information somewhere on what Chrome would like the
eventual status quo to be and why?
