2. Where does the requirement for query strings suddenly come

find it in the current editor's draft, and (beyond a side

timeless) don't recall conversation about it.
Basically web apps expect that window.location behave properly, if you
use a scheme such as data:
Just to be clear... The expectation you're talking about is that:
1. upon dereferencing, the query part is ignored
2. when present, it's propagated into window.location.query
Correct?
data:text/html,<script>alert(window.location.query%20?
%20window.location.query%20:%20"query
is not supported")</script>?%20Wouldn't%20it%20be%20nice?
note that i can't do anything useful with this web app encoded as a
data url because query is empty.
Query based web apps are very common.
