Sorry ignore my last remarks about spiders in the email below, I didn't spot it was just referring to data:// URLs.

Still it seems hard to enforce a singular client behaviour with respect to interpreting content.

Can't we just say: "A spec-compliant client MUST NOT display data: URLs

Can't see that would work - how about automated clients like spiders that crawl to build a search index for GUS etc?
I think whilst we may disapprove, we cant enforce the behaviour of a client to interpret content served.
