As far as I can tell, what the spec currently suggests is a pretty good
solution to this. Basically it suggests generating a DOM tree (would could e.g.
use ARIA roles if that is necessary) inside the <canvas>, exactly as Simon
demonstrates above.

This seems equivalent to just including focusable areas as descendants of the
<canvas> element, optionally with ARIA roles and states (or alternatively just
using native HTML semantics like links and form controls).

Could you elaborate on this? I don't understand. A user agent would presumably
have the user interact with only one or the other, not both.
