The spec.
<http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-canvas-element.html#the-canvas-element>

"When authors use the canvas element, they must also provide content that, when
presented to the user, conveys essentially the same function or purpose as the
bitmap canvas. This content may be placed as content of the canvas element. The
contents of the canvas element, if any, are the element's fallback content."
