Maybe we should have <img>.srcObject similar to what we're doing for media elements. <img>.src can simply return about:imagebitmap or some such. That way you can also assign a Blob to an <img> element without having to do the weird createObjectURL() hack that might leak memory if you're not careful. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
