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.<font color="#888888"></font></blockquote>
<div> </div></div>I think we can do better than that. It's fine to use high-dpi backing store automatically for <canvas> in general. ImageData is the only situation where it matters if there's more than one device pixel per CSS pixel, and authors should be able to opt into taking advantage of that fact, but not be exposed to it by default, IMHO.<br>
