I don't think it's intuitive to support chaining only on those
methods that happen to return null right now.

It's still early in the life of the canvas element, and we still have
the luxury of listening to good proposals. We can deal with the minor
problems that arise, and authors down the road will have a more
intuitive syntax. I like the proposal.
Well as I mentioned, I'm fine with the idea per se, if implementors
are
willing to change their implementations and fix any resulting bugs,
then
the spec will follow.
