RE: Canvas Test Submission approval/feedback request

Really glad to see all the participation and communication.  

As the appointed testing task force lead, james is correct according to our current charter from the co-chairs.
That said this is a simple valuable use case for svg and canvas....
This is also the reason Microsoft submitted this case to make it clear on how canvas should be built in an interoperable way.
Note that safari, chrome and IE9 supports this today, so it's indeed possible to be implemented by more than one vendor.

So to close - I'll send an email to the co-chairs and create a bug to have html5 clearly communicate this web dev scenario.
Since unlike the video codec's or other image formats, svg is clean and royalty free due to the w3c process.

And you'd do this for PNG/GIF/JPEG too, or are you treating SVG specially here?  (And if you're treating SVG specially, why?)
