> I think the custom code is not efficient at best and broken otherwise. In most cases, it postpones throwing an invalid arguments exception, silently fails or performs a no op (e.g. drawing a 0x0 rect). I think that just throwing an invalid args exception is better. I could not find anywhere in the specs saying what should happen, so I decided on consistency with the methods that already throw errors.

We're not consistent about how to handle exceptions in these cases.  IMHO, we should do the most JavaScript-like thing, which is throwing the exception as early as possible and re-throwing the same exception.  However, it might make sense to preserve the current behavior of each API, if possible, and then normalize them in the future.
