Why? You can easily define a blob:'s origin as being the origin registered 
for that blob: URL. It's just a lookup. You could even encode the origin 
directly into the URL (either opaquely or not), so that it wouldn't need 
to be expensive to look up.

I don't see any reason to hard-code blob: URLs here.
