I know, we can't change what happened in the past, but a little 
coordination before future features are implemented seems like a goal 
worth striving for.  No browser supports all canvas features yet [1], so 
now is the chance to integrate accessibility in the concept, rather than 
crudely bolting on some Frankenstein fix as an afterthought.
