True, you'd never want to use toDataURL with a compression operation that
takes many seconds ((or even tenths of a second) to complete, and data URLs
don't make sense for large images in the first place.  It makes sense for
toBlob(), though, and having the arguments to toBlob and toDataURL be
different seems like gratuitous inconsistency.
