Comment:
"If any of the arguments to the method are infinite or NaN, the method must
raise a NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR exception." - this is redundant, since the spec
earlier says "Except where otherwise specified, if a method with an argument
that is a floating point number type (float) is passed an Infinity or
Not-a-Number (NaN) value, a NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR exception must be raised."

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: It's actually not redundant, because there's another clause that says "Except where otherwise specified, for the 2D context interface, any method call with a numeric argument whose value is infinite or a NaN value must be ignored."
