Neither can HTML - it's always blank unless script is supported, so by
that argument, Script, and only Script is the appropriate place.

You've made these seem bloated, but you're ignoring the fact that the
only "extra" code in that example is the .drawable=true - if that
really is a problem, then it would be trivial to not require it and
just allow drawing to start on top of any element.

The existence of an HTMLCanvasElement prototype is not standard
currently - are you suggesting that the Web Application specification
should require the prototyping of these objects? I would be very
much opposed to this, requiring a particular coupling to javascript is
not a good idea.
