Wouldn't it be better to add a new property to canvas for blending? At the 
beginning, implementations are just require to use different blend modes in 
combination with 'source-over'.

That could work too.
There was a mailing list conversation about this a couple of months ago, and 
people were evenly split on the subject.

The vast majority of cases will use 'source-over' in combination with blending 
so maybe it's best to keep it simple...

It doesn't make sense to me for blend mode and composite operator to be 
separate in CSS, but combined in Canvas. Either there are valid use cases for 
specifying them separately or there are not. I cannot imagine how this could 
differ between Canvas and CSS.

To be fair, the 'globalCompositOperator' property mixed the compositing modes 
with some blend modes already. Which is the fault of the WebKit implementation. 
IIRC they have been removed from the Canvas part of the HTML spec for some 
time, but were added later again. Now we have multiple independent 
implementations that support all currently specified operators.

Is this the 'darker' compositing mode or are there others?

Lighter and darker, yes.

Greetings
Dirk
