Still, it seems unlikely that any browser will ever be able to switch to

existing pages assuming that getImageData(0, 0, 100, 100) returns a
100x100
bitmap (because assuming that is much easier, unless you read the spec
carefully you're unlikely to know it could ever be any different).
I agree, but Ian doesn't.
Me too. I pointed this out ages ago. At some point Philip looked at some
sites and showed that they relied on this. I've only seen Oliver and Ian
argue in favor of the current specification.
Once we get huge screens and lots of processing power people can just blow
up the canvas grid and then scale it down with CSS. Works just as well and
makes the data more portable.
