What is "image-interpolation"?  It looks like a CSS property, but Google
doesn't distinguish between "image-interpolation" and "image
interpolation", so it's impossible to search for.

If it is, having CSS state affect drawing of 2d canvas seems wrong.  Aside
from the bad layering, it would lead to different rendering if you draw to
a Canvas before stylesheets finish loading (equivalent to not waiting for
images, but much easier to get wrong without noticing), and if you
offscreen render a Canvas before actually putting it in a document.
