[whatwg] createObjectURL(stream) protocol issue

[Tommy Widenflycht (ᛏᚮᛘᛘᚤ)]

Imho conceptually streamed media is not the same as data from a file and
thus should be separated. Specifically the code for the video tag for
example now has to ask around what this URL actually points to before taking
action.
