Really? You think specs constrain their applicability of use by default? You
and I must be reading different specs then. Any spec that arbitrarily
constraints its applicability of use is not going to be very useful for the
open web platform (or much else for that matter).

The fundamental purpose of canvas is to allow authoring an image using
procedural means (JS), instead of declarative means (via raster or vector
graphics). As such, its applicability of use should be close if not equivalent
to that of an image element. Are you arguing otherwise?

Since you ask to leave this open, I will defer further resolution to the
editor.
