Insofar as a browser supports this it is desirable to achieve pixel-perfect rendering across browsers. While this isn't desirable for web pages as a whole, a dynamic drawing API is not particularly useful if it cannot promise this (at least to some extent). Would the Mona Lisa be so well known and appreciated if it looked significantly different every time it was reproduced in a magazine or displayed in a gallery? Of course it is necessary to allow accessible fallbacks for non-visual browsers but this does not obviate the need for pixel-perfect rendering in visual browsers; they are two separate issues. Bruce
