| The canvas API doesn't have vectors. The only two functions that take

Yep. That was may second question: angle direction.
Usualy in y-to-top and x-to-right systems direction of angle rotation is 
counterclockwise
Seems like here we have strictly mirrored (around x-axis) coordinate system.

That I guess needs to be defined somewhere ...
