Reason: During development of browser, we find that,if the browser engine can know that this canvas is only for drawring image and identify this scenario, then the browser engine can give GPU accelaration for this only-drawing-image scenario. If we draw canvas, when drawimage,and there are other non-image drawing,like text or line, the performance is downgraded. After we implement this attribute for canvas element in our android webkit kernal,we got test data for using this attribute, and not using this attribute.Below is the performance comparision.We use 5 games to test our implementation, and find the effect is obvious,please find detailed data below. Benefit: 1) for developer, this attribute is easy to use,we can draw different type draw in different canvas,we can get high performance web page. 2) for browser engine, it can fully optimize the performance of drawing an image,make best use of powser of GPU accelerator.

Wouldn't <img> be sufficient in that kind of case?
