I suspect canvas would have gone more smoothly if the initial implementation had been something like <div -webkit-canvas> instead of <canvas> (with Gecko perhaps adding -moz-canvas and eventually converging on <canvas> as a standard). But it also likely would have gone more smoothly if we'd subjected our design to public review before shipping it in a GM release. It's hard for me to say at this point if both mechanisms would have been necessary. On the other hand, I think making it <webkit:canvas xmlns="http://webkit.org/ns/canvas "> would likely not have made things smoother on the whole and might have made things worse.
