If there are any specific changes that you think should be made to the 2D 
Context draft, please don't hesitate to file bugs for them. When I did the 
split, I did try to examine what changes had been made to the other draft, 
and I copied over all the changes that I could find that were correct 
changes. (There were unfortunately a number of changes that were purported 
to improve readability but unfortunately introduced technical errors; I 
didn't port those over.)

The accessibility story for <canvas> is better than the accessibility 
story for <object> and <img>.

The chairs have explained that the weekly telecon is merely a phone status 
report on the group, and not required for group participation. Moreover, 
our charter explicitly states that there are no minimum participation 
requirements for anyone other than co-chairs and editors.
