The only valid use case I can think of for graphical elements in HTML is 
things like dynamic stock graphs, maps, and the like. Dynamic stock graphs 
are easiest done with something like Apple's <canvas>; dynamic maps are 
easiest done using embedded SVG fragments. Both of these are, today, done 
using server-side script-generated bitmaps.
