"If the image argument is an HTMLImageElement object that is not fully
decodable ... then the implementation must return without drawing anything."
This is terrible!  It completely prohibits displaying images incrementally. 
When I'm loading a 5 MB 3000x3000 image, not being able to draw
partially-loaded images is a serioius problem.    If an image isn't fully
loaded, allow (don't require) UA's to blit what data is available.  Don't
preemptively destroy all progressive loading!
