Guessing about the future, we may end up in a situation where most text in canvas is HTML-in-Canvas and the only text rendered directly in canvas is special in some way.

Probably also worth pointing out that the text clusters portion of the proposal is intended to support rich text effects and animations ("text as art", as opposed to "text as information").  I suspect in that particular context authors will need to be explicit/intentional in order to make semantic information accessible.  E.g. [something like this](https://skottie.skia.org/9c81972e38c5dca4f5ec02179c1ece12?h=1024&w=1024) could use some high-level  annotation to make sense of glyphs flying around the screen, as opposed to feeding the dom to a screen reader.
