I assume that you're referring to the section "A purely decorative image that
doesn't add any information but is still specific to the surrounding content"
in http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-html5-20080610/embedded0.html.
That particular part of the spec describes what the 'alt' attribute should
contain. This does not prohibit using an image for purely decorative means.
(Also, notice the 'in general' which does not prohibit decorative images).

This description is talking about the content of the canvas. It's not saying
how you can use that content (be it as a normal image or a decorative one as
described in the image spec )
