spec/Overview.html 1.1193 2004 How to handle transparent images for toD

How to handle transparent images for toDataURL(). Just allow the UA to
premultiply the alpha and output that whie dropping the alpha channel,
instead of worrying about the background color or whatnot. It's up to
authors to make the background color non-transparent. (whatwg r2004)

    keeps enough information to reliably render an SVG image from the canvas.
 
+  <p>For image types that do not support an alpha channel, the image must be
+   composited onto a solid black background using the source-over operator,
+   and the resulting image must be the one used to create the <code
+   title="">data:</code> URL.

   <p>Only support for <code>image/png</code> is required. User agents may
    support other types. If the user agent does not support the requested
    type, it must return the image using the PNG format.
