We tried that with HTML4 without success for 10 years.
<canvas> and <embed> are very different; <embed> embeds a live piece of native
code with native accessibility semantics, whereas <canvas> is at the mercy of
the script.
I've not made <embed> non-conforming, since the arguments put forward for doing
so are not compelling.
