extraneous whitespace is not valid in base64 encoding (see
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2397 or more specifically
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2396 and
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390126), thus it is legitimate for
browsers to refuse to display the image in the testcase although many do.

It would be best if the whitespace was simply removed from the href to avoid
such issues.
