From http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#canvas "When authors use the canvas element, they should also provide content that, when presented to the user, conveys essentially the same function or purpose as the bitmap canvas. This content may be placed as content of the canvas element. The contents of the canvas element, if any, are the element's fallback content." And also "In non-visual media, and in visual media with scripting disabled, the canvas element's fallback content must be used instead." So if you could clarify your comment in light of that (and the rest the section of <canvas> states on this subject, I haven't quoted everything), that would be much appreciated so we can alleviate the concern.
