To fix it, the widget URI spec needs to respond with HTTP responses

Are there are any plans to undertake a Provisional (or Permanent) URI
Scheme Registration for the widget URI? [1] The guidelines and
procedures of that process seem to form a handy general checklist for
minting URI schemes and should be capable of catching idiosyncrasies
such as this.
Perhaps we should get the widget URI proposal peer reviewed by the W3C
URI IG [2] and, perhaps, the IETF HTTP WG [3] before publication also.
I mention this since you mention the blob URI scheme. That has
recently been making the rounds on both of the listservs mentioned
above resulting in some interesting discussions.
FYI, a separate list for discussions about schemes for packaging Web
applications and the like was created and used for this spec:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pkg-uri-scheme/
The IETF's uri-review list was also used for this spec:
