Description
Could we allow late import() and importScripts() after installation if the script URL is considered "local"?
https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#local-scheme
So for example, you could do a late import() or importScripts() to a data: or blob: URL.

Research direction
Start with the Service Worker specification sections governing late import() and importScripts(), then compare their restrictions with the Fetch specification's local scheme definition. Review the 48-comment discussion to determine whether the requested behavior has a settled design; done would require an agreed specification change covering local data: and blob: URLs.
