I never would have though that Canny meant anything other than 'clever' in this situation rather than "Edge Detection, using algorithm by Canny J." and although it may be common it is not obvious and it is not as clear as it could be.
Actually, I took "Canny" to be some named algorithm or some such, just like Bézier spline is. Given that the latter is a common term in the general field of graphics (and in SVG specifically), there definitely is precedent to keep the proper name.
