http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13626465/how-to-create-a-new-imagedata-object-independently should not be that hard. The obvious way to do things should work.

I think making it accept a dictionary as single argument where you can specify the various features makes the most sense.

W3C HTML has this apparently and Gecko is planning on adding something: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=959958

Checked in as WHATWG revision r8397.
Check-in comment: Add a couple of ImageData() constructors, and (in order to make that feasible) drop all the HD stuff on <canvas>.

Wasn't the HD stuff removed a while ago? I wonder how it snuck back into the spec.
