(We were recently requested not to cross-post to multiple HTML working group mailing lists but I wasn't sure which mailing list to leave so I just left the main one. Feel free to forward this to other groups if I am mistaken in this.)

FWIW the long-term plan for canvas is to introduce a Path primitive that can be used for, amongst other things, trivial hit-testing. It's not clear to me why an AT needs to know the bounds of non-focused elements, or indeed how that would work given a canvas where widgets are continuously moving or resizing, or where widgets don't really have a concrete dimension until they are being interacted with, but maybe the best way to progress with that would be to build a small collection of concrete testable examples showing how one is envisaging the canvas API being used so that we can make sure we are addressing real use cases (and to make sure we agree on what the use cases are). -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
