Anything's possible, but I think the pain here would far outweigh the
benefits. There would be some really hard questions to answer, too (e.g.
what would innerHTML return? If you copied such an image from a
contentEditable section and pasted it lower down the same section, would
it still have the image?).
My idea was that innerHTML and getAttribute and such would get back
about:blob or some such. I think having the same object associated
with two images should be fine, so copy & pasting should probably
work. about:blob is just for serialization purposes.
How would you create copies programmaticaly? How would you reassign src
attribute of one image to another? The idea, that sometimes the
attribute would return string (regular URL, FileSystem APi URL)
sometimes Blob...
What would you do in case like this
img.src = blob;
div.appendChild(img);
var s = div.innerHTML;
div.innerHTML = '';
div.innerHTML = s;
which would work with regular URL, would fail in your suggestion...
