Comment (by mcs):

 I think the NoScript analogy is a good one. Other things to consider: how
 often people need to allow canvas data extraction for a site to work
 correctly? And do users expect the browser to remember these kind of
 permission decisions across sessions (and how do we weigh that against not
 writing to disk)?
