I (personally) feel that I should be spending more time on this issue (accessibility of canvas) but in the limited time that I have scratched my head over it, the result has been not much more than a few more scratch marks. If you have ideas, or want to chat about it, I'll try to lend my ears... [Mind you, the couple of times I have talked about debating the structure of how to address media accessibility, which also needs work, I have had no response. The framework is more than just whether video titles have closed captions - it's about other accessibility axes, how I select or configure media to respond to my needs, and so on. Can anyone hypothesize why my attempts to start a discussion on this topic have gone nowhere?] -- David Singer Multimedia Standards, Apple Inc.
