Description

#579 defines a processor, but it seems that HTML at least could use a generator for canvas's toDataURL().

I guess this needs to accept a MIME type and a bag of bits and maybe a base64 flag.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #579's processor and the HTML canvas toDataURL() behavior referenced here. Determine the intended generator inputs, including MIME type, bit data, and the optional base64 flag. Done means the Fetch Standard clearly specifies the generator's purpose, inputs, and output.
