Ok.  I've caught up on my reading.  I don't see a big reason to change behavior here.  The dream of having all URIs parse the same way is just a dream.  Some common URI schemes, such as javascript URIs, can't be done this way.  There are also obscure ones, like ed2k, that can't work this way either.

The main reason I see to change our parsing of data URLs is in connection with fragment references in SVG.  I'm not sure what the best solution there is, but using the RFC 3986 regexp on data URLs doesn't seem like the best approach, especially give that doing so has resulted in Firefox getting compat complaints.
