[webkit-dev] Canvas backing resolution

[Kenneth Rohde Christiansen]

I guess that is not even possible, as I would need to subscribe to
something like "(-min-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 1.0)" and will only
be notified in case the evaluation of that exact expression changes.
Maybe that spec is lacking a way to subscribe to arbitrary changes in
say device-pixel-ratio.

It does feel a bit expensive, but then again we are only reevaluation
after pinch end, so I guess that would be fully OK.

However, the zoom level can change often, and there's no notification that the author can register for that will tell them when the zoom level changes, and thus when they'll need to redraw their canvas contents.
