No, not really. The HTML WG could sit down and define a new canvas element without having to address potential incompatibilities with the one introduced by Apple (from what I hear, it has some problems that aren't addressed *because* of backwards compatibility). IE doesn't support canvas anyway, and in the meantime, Safari3, Firefox3 and Opera 9.whatever could implement the cleaned up version. Best regards, Julian
