Would you consider that the authoring part is irrelevant?
I'm not saying it is bad, just looking for use case scenario on how
it is difficult or not for authors to produce a graphics.

As I said in the past, even if done by this WG, I have the feeling
that it would speed up the process to make it a small individual
specification.
As an example, Web API has been quite quick for XMLHttpRequest Object.
# The XMLHttpRequest Object
* first draft at W3C
W3C Working Draft 05 April 2006
* Last Call
W3C Working Draft 27 February 2007
Given the nature of implementations of Canvas, it should be quite
quick to go through CR, given the number of tests available.
The issues lists count only one open issue.
http://www.w3.org/2006/webapi/track/products/3
http://www.w3.org/2006/webapi/track/products/8
I don't know when Anne and Web API WG is planning to call for CR.
So I have the feeling that going with an HTML Task Force taking the
canvas part in a small spec would really speed up the process.
It is more agile in the method.
It will give satisfaction to the WG for having published something
more quickly than the whole HTML specification (that will take a lot
more time).
