I'm not sure graphics rendering falls in the category of "semantics of documents and applications" - it would seem more like presentation. I'm not making a strong point here, just saying that it's on the bubble at best. I do think the <canvas> pattern needs to be addressed under the W3C, so I'm not necessarily against it. Regardless, I would hope we can provide some bridge between us and the other presentation efforts in the W3C. -Chris
