I think the term "shadow DOM" is being used loosely, to refer to content inside the <canvas> element, which would be exposed via accessibility APIs even when it is not rendered. I think I may have originally introduced the imprecise terminology into the discussion, for which I apologize. I believe it is indeed true that the spec already requires this, though perhaps the people working on the proposal have refinements to suggest. Regards, Maciej
