Status: Additional Information Needed
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale:

The non-normative text says: "If the image has no image data, throws an INVALID_STATE_ERR exception."

The normative text says: "If the image argument is an HTMLCanvasElement object with either a horizontal dimension or a vertical dimension equal to zero, then the implementation must raise an INVALID_STATE_ERR exception."

So I don't see the problem.  Please clarify.
