Line 17:
* Base64-encoded <tt>data:</tt> URIs are roughly 50% larger in size than their binary equivalent.
* URL-encoded <tt>data:</tt> URIs can be up to three times larger (in extreme cases) than the original text content.
* Information that is embedded more than once is redownloaded as part of the containing file, and thus does not benefit from the browser's cache.
* Browser limits to URI length provide a maximum data size. For example, URIs in Opera are limited to around 4100 characters.
