Sure, sure just throwing the idea here.
I think whatever can be followed according to existing should be (the 
same signature as Canvas.toBlob, respecting crossorigin attribute, CORS)
If there is failure possible in Canvas.toBlob(), this method should 
follow it, if not, error should be thrown once called on error image
<img src="foo.jpg">.toBlob("image/png") should return PNG

Basically the idea is, that this should replace for creating canvas, 
painting image on such canvas and calling canvas.toBlob().
