> It seems completely reasonable that base64 would work with UTF8 content. I don't think it's right to declare utf8 out of spec for data: uri.

The problem is that the encoding isn't utf-8. Given that our implementation of btoa and decoding behavior matches that of Gecko, changing this behavior will likely to have some compatibility implications. Please make necessary comments on public-html or whatwg.
