[Bug 14419] when canvas isn't supported, or for blind users, the canvas element's content should be displayed, so excluding input types like text and select is discriminatory

Why do people think this has anything to do with reimplementing forms with
canvas?

The issue here is that sometimes a canvas will be unavailable or unusable, and
in that case, why would you want to forbid a form asking for an email address
or selecting from a list?

I agree that implementing forms with canvas is a bad idea, but removing
legitimate functions that would help the blind and people on text mode browsers
is not going to do a thing to make that less likely.

This is like building a fence around the tractor shed to keep the cows in the
barn.
