Canvas absolutey requires fallback content - it has pretty uch zero  
inherent accessibility :( One thing that could be interesting is to allow  
image m aps to be used on a canvas (they are currently not) giving an  
ability to define hotspots that have at least an alt and title, and can  
also be used with an acceskey etc. Given that canvas is ideal for games,  
as well as trivial decorative stuff, this bears lookng at.
