That's great, though what I meant was something that answers questions like:
* What is the application?
* What is <canvas> used for?
* Is it accessible now?
* Is there a better technology?
* How can we make it accessible?
E.g. to take cufón which is admittedly somewhat simple:
* What is the application?
Allows font embedding on pages without using Flash.
* What is <canvas> used for?
Drawing the characters.
* Is it accessible now?
Maybe. (It claims to be an alternative to sIFR so is
probably just for simple replacements.)
* Is there a better technology?
Yes: Web Fonts.
* How can we make it accessible?
Probably already accessible or pages can switch to Web Fonts.
