But UI beyond anything as simple as a button quickly becomes highly inappropriate. <canvas> isn't supposed to replace HTML. I really don't understand why anyone who considers themselves to be advocates of accessibility would even remotely want to encourage authoring practices such as implementing entire tree widgets, grids, text editors, or list boxes inside <canvas>. > We're trying to promote GOOD practices, per WCAG 2.0.

Apparently we disagree about what is a good practice. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
