There's something I meant to say about using canvas to write a text editor: it's kinda tour-de-force, and a nice example, but I don't think anyone would claim it was a good way, or a natural, or right, way to do it. It is roughly as appropriate as doing 'line printer art'. I rather assume a screen-reader would not give a, well, recognizable, description of this page: <http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/dataformats/asciiart/> which uses text to represent grey-scale pictures. -- David Singer Multimedia Standards, Apple Inc.
