I think that was phrased in something of an unnecessary manner. Data URIs are a sort of also ran standard I think. One reason might be that they were not supported in IE, but I think another reason is that they do not fit well into the general development methodologies for Web Apps, at any rate they have never become widely used or a well known standard. So there does not seem to be any particular reason why they should be supported. I suppose that one could write a parser for data uris but with xsl:function like you say, maybe using fxsl would be a clever thing to do, given the recent things for parsing that have been done with that library.
