Re: Example canvas element use - accessibility concerns

There's something I meant to say about using canvas to write a text 
editor:  it's kinda  tour-de-force, and a nice example, but I don't 
think anyone would claim it was a good way, or a natural, or right, 
way to do it.

It is roughly as appropriate as doing 'line printer art'.  I rather 
assume a screen-reader would not give a, well, recognizable, 
description of this page:
<http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/dataformats/asciiart/>
which uses text to represent grey-scale pictures.
