I have a *very* stupid #HTML question
Is it possible to *compress* the contents of a Data URl?
For example, I can do:
`data:text/css;base64,…`
But the B64 version is larger than the plaintext.
I want to do something like
`data:text/css&gzip;base64,…`
Obviously, this is redundant with MIME types of compressed images.
And, also obviously, the Base64 is compressed with the page.
So perhaps this is a redundant idea?
