Aside from backgrounds I think explicitly supporting patterns could be quit. Interesting, not sure what the api would look like, but you should probably be able to fill and stroke with them.
Wrt background, I think the default should be White, but maybe we should support None to not draw it too. Perhaps if fill and stroke support patterns we can also pass one them to background. Having an explicit pattern api that works everywhere is a lot less cracktastic than my initial idea of just passing the image and tile params to background.
