We can remove that comment. It’s obsolete.
I believe the “highlight” compositing mode used to be supported in canvas by
WebKit on Mac, but hasn’t been for some time. There’s probably no harm in
removing it now.
The fact that the string is “not valid” in the specification isn’t what makes
it OK to remove. Please remember that the canvas implementation in WebKit was
the first and predates the specification by at least a year. But it’s almost
certainly OK to remove this compositing mode because it hasn’t been implemented
for quite a while.
There’s still a slim chance that there is some content out there relying on
“highlight” being a synonym for “source-over”, but it’s not likely.
One side comment: I think the mapping from strings to the various graphics
enums really belongs in the canvas code, not in the platform directory.
