Having infinite canvas is interesting idea, our brain actually maps spatial information much better than numeral. Very long time ago I was playing with "galapix" GPU accelerated image viewer, it was surreal to see how fast you can zoom in and out of tens of thousands of images. But I see some issues applying this concept to window managers, first is navigation, if you make zoom levels discrete (so that you can press keys to zoom) it won't feel smooth and natural, if you make some kind of ease-in, ease-out it will feel sluggish and slow, and if you make zoom truly analog you would have to use your mouse to zoom-in-out, not great for keyboard driven WM. Second is GPU acceleration, I may be wrong on this one, but how would you draw huge canvas without GPU involvement, of course you would have to code for GPU, something tells me it will be infinite amount of pain shoved to your ass to code this and maintain afterwards.
