There is experimental support for this in Gecko at the moment via the
boolean mozImageSmoothingEnabled property on the 2d context. At the
time this was added there was talk about getting more feedback from
this group; not sure whether that ever happened.
I would be curious to know whether this property solves your use cases.
I do think we should add some capabilities to at least force
nearest-neighbor interpolation; this is a commonly requested feature.

I had a quick go with setting ctx.mozImageSmoothingEnabled = false. It
works great with drawImage. However it does not appear to affect
repeated patterns. This makes for quite a strange effect where the
game's sprites are pixellated but the tiled backgrounds are bilinear
filtered. So it's half way there.
Do any other browsers have vendor-specific switches for this? That
would be a good workaround for the time being.
