Other elements would need a rendering context anyway, thus the same 
reasoning could be applied to CanvasRenderingContext2D, CanvasGradient 
and CanvasPattern. Perhaps the best way to generalize their name is to 
remove the "Canvas" part (or changing it into "Graphics" or the alike -- 
both PixelArray and ImagePixelArray could be fine). However, "canvas" 
might be enough generic, when thinking to a graphics context, to be 
referred to whatever object allowing custom rendering without any 
confusion or poor association (like saying that a <canvas> is the main 
element for custom/dynamic rendering and that other elements might use 
the Canvas framework to provide similar capabilities). Personally, I'm 
fine with both choices.

WBR, Alex
