Description

It seems that neither the spec nor the explainer referenced from the Readme mention what should happen when the source data is in memory, for example created from URL.createObjectUrl(someBlob). Images, audio, video work that way; however it looks like at least the current implementation on Safari does not accept such URLs, which may or not may be a bug given that the spec doesn't explain it.

Or maybe it doesn't need to because that's how resources on the web work?

Research direction

Start with the spec and explainer referenced from the repository README, then review the reported Safari behavior for URLs created with URL.createObjectURL. Clarify whether in-memory source URLs are supported and document the expected behavior in the appropriate specification or explainer text.
