I'd really rather not do that work unless there's a good reason for it. ;) As far as use cases go, it seems like pretty much any use case using <img> where the <img> is actually semantically meaningful would apply to <input type="image"> too, if that's what your image's semantic meaning is. Is the claim that there are no real use cases of drawImage with semantically meaningful images? -Boris
