I think we can do better than that. It's fine to use high-dpi backing store
automatically for <canvas> in general. ImageData is the only situation where
it matters if there's more than one device pixel per CSS pixel, and authors
should be able to opt into taking advantage of that fact, but not be exposed
to it by default, IMHO.
