I wouldn't call this list "canonical", rather it's the list of agreed blend modes set out in the W3C Compositing and Blending Level 2 specification[1][3]. Other products have different views on what sort of blend modes to include - for instance Photoshop defines 29 of them[2], compared to the 16 defined in the W3C spec. Concerning the Hue, Saturation, Color and Luminosity blends - I've been wondering if there would be anything to gain from creating similar types of blend from colors defined using the LCH and/or LAB color spaces ...?
