Thanks for the clarification; it appears we’re referencing the right W3C version in the extension spec [1].

We’ll keep new feature discussions on public-canvas-api@w3.org, and ping the list to review any extensions to the CanvasRenderingContext2D.

Unless someone has concerns, we’ll move forward by defining the algorithms for the createDepthData(), getDepthData(), and putDepthData() methods that operate on DepthData objects in the extension spec [1]. We’ll report back if there are issues in extending the base spec cleanly, for example, if extensions points in the core spec would be needed to avoid monkey patching.

Btw. could you update the Status of This Document "e-mail feedback to [...]“ boilerplate of [2] to point to the right mailing list?

Thanks,
