The canvas component is very promising, but the lack of drawString method could be a great error for its success, this lack is a huge limitation, how could you resolve this problem?<br>

Although normal text in a webpage... or even a text image (with the
"alt" attribute filled in properly) could be "read" by a person with
disabilities, text embedded in the canvas element could not.<br>

Perhaps people need to think about how to add Accessibility to the canvas while allowing a "drawString" procedure.</blockquote><div><br>Well a drawString method in canvas can be used for drawing the
axis labels or values on a dinamic javascript graphic, but is non sense
an aural reader read it, theres no way (yet) to read an image to a blinded people, there are cases where is imposible the accessibility, is imposible for a blind to play video games, and accessibility dont stop the video games creation. In the case of images or the canvas the alt attribute could do the job.
