Yes, because with <canvas> the feature has been carefully designed to have fallback content so that in browsers that don't support <canvas>, you can still see content that represents the same information (assuming authors provide it, of course). There's also an implementation of <canvas> for IE. And, probably most importantly, <canvas> is defined in a specification with exact parsing rules that define how it is to be treated, so if Microsoft decide to implement it, they can do so and ensure interoperability. None of this applies to sending SVG today as text/html. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
