You can indeed, in browsers that (more or less) support spec: 
http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/xhr/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#data:-urls-and-http

Don't know if there are that many use cases but I guess you could easily get a 
blob from a base64-string, or use it as a more or less convenient XML parser if 
all you have is a URL-encoded string of XML source text.. :-)
