Good point, it would be better to call it 'onresize' for consistency.
So my revised suggestion is:

1. Support more length specifiers for the width and height of a
canvas(%, em, etc.).
2. Add an onresize event to the canvas tag. When the canvas is resized
it is reset and this event is fired.
3. CSS size specifiers resize rather than scale the canvas. I.e. it
should always be that 1 unit = 1 pixel initially.
