[Bug 11263] Most browsers seem to clear to transparent -white- by default, since this results in much nicer blended edges in antialiased-graphics.

Most browsers use premultiplied alpha so transparent white and transparent
black both get encoded as (0,0,0,0) which gets decoded into rgba(0,0,0,0) -
they can never distinctly represent transparent white. It shouldn't affect
correctly-implemented antialiasing either way, anyway. I guess it's most likely
that the original reporter was confused.
