I seem to have misread or misremembered how data: URIs are handled by HTML5, so this part was wrong; I updated the tests in the file at the above location to revert the change.  Now there's an explicit, un-Mozilla-guarded check that "http://localhost:8888" == the .origin of an event posted from a data: window to its opener which is located on <http://localhost:8888>.
