The way it's specced in the HTML spec right now it can involve pushing 
bits to the screen, but it's modelled in such a way that really that's 
equivalent to grabbing the bitmap and shipping that over using 
postMessage() and having the main thread post it to the GPU. (Doesn't have 
to be implemented that way, but it's not supposed to be distinguishable 
from that.)
