Re: canvas API changes to drive magnification

Hi David,

I don't understand the correlation to usemap? Why would it be any
different. Usemap would be an alternative techique for creating a shadow
DOM. Either way you have the same drawing and accessible object binding
problem.

Hi Rich,

I don't know if I am against the canDrawCustom attribute, I just want to
understand it better. Perhaps it is useful for interop with the usemap

cheers,
David
