This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #19554 +++ Currently, URL.createObjectURL is specified to work with autoRevoke set to true, which allows Blob URLs to be valid past a provided stable state. But stable state is not a sufficient concept, nor is the misdirected Bug 17988 which seeks to have microtask defined as a concept. What is needed here is: something that's always invoked when exiting the outermost script (including from parser-invoked script) . If this is provided in HTML5, we can use it to describe autoRevoke semantics. This is useful for the createObjectURL default pattern, which avoids persisting string-based references to in-memory objects, minimizing leaks.
