The data: URI scheme is an implementation of the IETF RFC 2397. Data URIs were conceived as a mechanism to store content inline with a URL to be rendered by a browser. However, in NetKernel data: URIs can be a valuable server-side means of placing literal data in an active URI.

Data URIs can be dynamically generated to allow a resource to placed in an active URI rather than be passed by value - this allows the results of the active URI to be cached.
