capture screen areas

[Friedman]

Is there a way to capture screen areas in the new packaged apps? Because of this Chrome bug http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=68568&q=is%3Astarred&colspec=ID%20Pri%20Mstone%20ReleaseBlock%20OS%20Area%20Feature%20Status%20Owner%20Summary users cannot download their SVG files as PNGs (vector-paint.com). I know there is the chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab function but that is not accessible to packaged apps.

This is currently not possible, but http://crbug.com/135436 would you work around the underlying Chrome limitation with data: URLs.

That seems like a poor alternative. Wouldn't it be easier to fix the Chrome bug than to create a security exception for Chrome Apps. I know other Chrome Apps are affected by this bug like SVG diagramming apps.
