That's great, though what I meant was something that answers questions like:

 * What is the application?
 * What is <canvas> used for?
 * Is it accessible now?
 * Is there a better technology?
 * How can we make it accessible?

E.g. to take cufón which is admittedly somewhat simple:

 * What is the application?
     Allows font embedding on pages without using Flash.
 * What is <canvas> used for?
     Drawing the characters.
 * Is it accessible now?
     Maybe. (It claims to be an alternative to sIFR so is
     probably just for simple replacements.)
 * Is there a better technology?
     Yes: Web Fonts.
 * How can we make it accessible?
     Probably already accessible or pages can switch to Web Fonts.
