Having the spec define behavior that is never used by any Web feature is very confusing. Section 4 is not really needed at all since the HTML5 canvas spec defines the canvas compositing behavior. If you want the Compositing and Blending spec to define new compositing modes for canvas, then define a list of operators that the HTML canvas spec can refer to, but don't define globalCompositeOperation here. Don't even mention canvas here. Another very important reason is also that if this property/behavior is > included in the spec, the W3C patent policy will apply. > Describing something in a W3C spec that is not actually used by any features in that spec, just so we can get the patent policy to apply to it, borders on bad faith.
