Comment (by bradyvercher):

 @westonruter Header images don't always have attachment IDs since there
 can be one or more registered defaults that come directly from the theme,
 so just about everything is based on URLs right now. The `MediaControl`
 uses attachment IDs, so most of the methods would have to be overridden
 anyway.

 The `header_image_data` setting isn't used much in core and appears to
 mainly be used to keep track of an attachment ID when one is available
 since `header_image` stores a URL (and a couple of other strings). The
 header functionality could be simplified, but there's a lot of backward
 compatibility baggage that would need to be considered.
