I've only seen me and Maciej speak up on this and we've both said that implementation-wise this is similar to exposing an accessibility tree for the contents of <canvas> elements. Certainly not trivial, but doable and something that needs to be solved in order to make canvas accessible (which I hope we agree should be a MUST level requirement). However I could easily have missed other implementor feedback. If that's the case a SHOULD level requirement might be ok. But I'd be curious to hear how that implementor was planning on dealing with canvas. / Jonas
