Fair point. It is conceivable that the URL API can evolve to include
creation of Blob and Stream URLs using the blob: scheme in constructors,
including revocation mechanism for these (yes, programmer/user assisted
revocation is necessary). If and when that happens, we can deprecate
these other methods (createObjectURL and revokeObjectURL).
Deprecating does not work. The clutter will remain on the window object
and we will likely have to support them for eternity. We should use some
caution here.
