That's an interesting interpretation, but it implies that the filters 
for sampling are allowed, and in fact expected, to sample outside the 
source rectangle. IMHO it should at least be allowed for an 
implementation to clamp the sources for filtered pixels to be inside the 
source rectangle (in pixman I think this is called "pad extension"). 
This cannot be done for a zero-sized source, so I still feel it should 
not be allowed.

Yes this sounds best to me.

Sounds good to me.

Isn't there a reusable "invalid arguments" error? It would seem kind of 
annoying that every function that cannot accept all possible inputs has 
to either ignore them or generate a new error message.
