As I noted in a response to Nils earlier in this thread,
Firefox/Webkit/Opera don't actually require authors to percent-encode
brackets and spaces in data URIs. (not sure whether that's correct per
spec or not).
...
It's not correct per RFC 2397 (data) and RFCs 3986 (URI) and 3987 (IRI),
but the HTML spec certainly could *make* it correct by introducing an
additional layer (if there was consensus to do so). Right now HTML5
conformance requires valid IRIs, so unescaped whitespace or angle
brackets in @hrefs make the document non-conforming.
