Sam, Boris, and Robert O'Callahan all made the same points I would
have.

I do not recommend this line of argument, if you want to iterate
rapidly. The charter of the W3C Working Group is broadly worded.

Here is a record of a resolved charter dispute:
<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/15>

In my document, I treated that vote as input from the WG. It appears
there are 3 major compatible implementations, a large test suite[1],
and consensus on technical workings of the element. The current HTML
working group charter was issued on 7 March 2007. It's 2009 now, and
so canvas must go in the first deliverable in order to preserve the
WG's credibility (in my strongly held opinion).

Fully agree about Ian's work.
