[whatwg] [canvas] imageRenderingQuality property

[Kristof Zelechovski]

Challenge accepted.
THIS: the content the author wants the browser to render.
HAPPEN: the sequence of operations performed by the browser in order to
render THIS.
QUICKLY: meeting the user's expectations how long he should wait for THIS.
QUALITY: how accurately the browser follows the author's prescription.
EXTRA TIME: the amount of time the rendering process is late with respect to
the QUICKLY deadline.
HIGHEST: most accurate.
HTH,
Chris

No problem, all you have to do is define:

- "this"
- "happen"
- "quickly"
- "quality"
- "extra time"
- "highest"

Of course the hard bit is that these change for every content developer,
often per-platform.
