I admit that I don't know what the "structured clone feature" is, but if it's orthogonal to Canvas, then having its specifiction rely on Canvas is a problem -- if even if Canvas stays where it is. This is *exactly* the problem one would expect when things are defined in a monolithic way. BR, Julian
