I think we agree. I actually meant well-defined but opaque to JavaScript consumers. In other words script in a web page can't deduce any meaningful information from the string. If we're aiming for that property then it makes sense that the entire scheme be defined (something like filedata:00000000-0000-0000-0000-00000000000). We can bikeshed the scheme name later but I'd prefer something more generic now url is off Blob. I agree that there should be HTTP/1.1 response codes for GET. Cheers, Adrian.
