[whatwg] More random comments on the putImageData definition

[Oliver Hunt]

Another thing that we need is some way to determine what the device  
pixel->css pixel ratio is.  Currently there's isn't even a real way to  
tell that it's 1:1 -- you would have do do a fillRect(width-1,  
height-1, 1, 1),; then getImageData(width-1, height-1, 1, 1) and see  
if they match.  Conceivably you could do this multiple times to  
estimate the ratio, but it would be non-trivial.
