The 2D context has been suggested for possible use in SVG (to allow embedding some immediate-mode graphics in a vector image) and for use in WebKit's CSS canvas background extension. I'm not sure if the latter has stood the test of time, but the former seems like a reasonable future idea, and I'm sure there are other possibilities. > The microdata split isn't optional at this point, so I can only > support it. > > (I have no opinion on postmsg because I'm not at all familiar with > it.) I think postMessage / channel messaging lies at about the same place on the split vs. keep spectrum as XHR, Web Storage, and Web Workers. Read over it and see if you agree. Based on this I think the best venue for it may be the Web Apps WG. Regards, Maciej
