[whatwg] Re: Canvas tag

[Brad Neuberg]

Erik, thanks for enumerating those methods.  Dave, is there more 
documentation than just the source code for the canvas tag?  Are there 
plans to integrate this tag with the work being done in this group?  What 
is the consensus here on the canvas tag?

Thanks,
    Brad Neuberg
