+1 But why a new version of drawImage? Couldn't we just modify the existing drawImage definition to state that it takes into account the image-orientation property on the source image? The default value for image-orientation is 0deg, which corresponds to the current drawImage behavior. So I think we can make that change to the drawImage spec without breaking stuff, as long as we make the change while image-orientation is still an experimental feature.
