[Minutes admin] Google Docs becomes an HTML Canvas application

Dear all,

My Saturday reading brought news of a rather startling planned
development in Google Docs. They appear to be well on their way to
migrating away from using the DOM in its entirety, and becoming a
Canvas application, as announced here:

https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2021/05/Google-Docs-Canvas-Based-Rendering-Update.html

There's a lot to be said and reacted to here, also from a MathML
integration perspective.

But the easiest reaction is that such a change may prove quite
turbulent to minute-taking with enhanced accessibility features. And
if we wanted to play things safe, we may want to rely on a more
conservative solution that isn't planning a change to Canvas any time
soon.

Greetings,
Deyan
