https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9706 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12408 This is the bug I was thinking about (although not all the discussion was captured in the bug): https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16855 Most directly related is this bug, which unfortunately is marked security-sensitive. I've added Boris to the CC list of this bug, but unfortunately I can't open it up to the public at the moment: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41483 > I agree that data-uris are much easier/preferable, but I'd still like to see > where the conversation went > on the webkit dev list and/or bug list. Hopefully the links above are helpful. Not all the discussion is captured in the bug database. Some of it happens on mailing lists and in IRC (as well as in person). Adam
