I don't think that I've argued against it. What I've argued against is
having this be the *only* way to read out of a blob and into things
that traditionally use URLs.

I.e. I've just been arguing that we need createObjectURL as well.

Also, for what it's worth, I'm holding out hope that we can change
createObjectURL to be autorevoking by default. That's what the latest
drafts are saying and no implementation has objected, despite repeated
pokings.
