Hi Robert, it works for me on Opera 9.21 (8776) WXP SP2. I was trying to do the same with firefox and it seems to works too.. but you get the "data:text/html" on the beginning of the URL.
Ummmmm -- what part of "address bar spoofing" did you not understand? _IF_ the URL spoofing part of a URL spoofing vulnerability in one browser does not work in another browser, then that other browser is clearly NOT vulnerable to the first browser's URL spoofing vulnerability. The issue Robert reported is NOT that Opera and Konqueror parse the data: protocol, BUT that cunning use of a data: protocol URL can be used to fool the user to think they're somewhere other than they are. As you so clearly -- and accurately -- say yourself, the URL spoofing part of this does not work in FF, so we should give a rat's arse that FF handles data: protocol URLs why?
