Re: Canvas 1.0

Wait, to clarify, addHitRegion would not actually provide hit testing?

Is the idea that it'd be added in the next spec revision? It seems odd to
do this, the feature would ship in a way that doesn't really match the
original intent of the spec.

I thought Mozilla already implemented some of the actual hit testing
features.
