(We were talking about device pixel ratios, not zooming--user zooming
scales the backing store, which is what we can't do anything about.)

I think we're misunderstanding each other, but I'm not sure where.  If
you're on a 1.1x device, a 100x100 CSS "pixel" (px) box has 110x100
physical pixels.  To draw cleanly into that box, you create a canvas with a
110x110 pixel backing store, and display it in the 100x100px region, eg.

<canvas width=110 height=110 style="width: 100px; height: 100px;">

You don't do any scaling within the 2d canvas itself, you just draw to it
like a 110x110-pixel canvas.
