* Embedded content must be extracted and decoded before changes may be made, then re-encoded and re-embedded afterward.
* [[Base64]]-encoded <tt>data:</tt> URIs are roughly 5033% 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.
