well done Robin, maybe we should tell browser vendors to implement what the HTML 5 spec already mentions under canvas.toDataURL([type,...]): "The possible values are MIME types with no parameters, for example image/png, image/jpeg, or even maybe image/svg+xml if the implementation actually keeps enough information to reliably render an SVG image from the canvas" [1] Your library could act as "reference implementation" to get a better idea what "keeps enough information" and "reliably render an SVG Image" could mean, could it?
