Specification
https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11588


Summary
HTML-in-canvas enables customizing the rendering of html using canvas with 
three new primitives: an attribute to opt-in canvas elements (layoutsubtree), 
methods to draw child elements (2d: drawElementImage, webgl: texElementImage2D, 
webgpu: copyElementImageToTexture), and a paint event which fires to handle 
updates.

Risks




Interoperability and Compatibility
This API exposes a small amount of new information which carries an interop 
risk, such as the pixels of gradients and form controls.

Gecko: No signal (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1076) 
Mozilla did not object to advancing the spec to stage 2 (consensus around rough 
API shape), and we are actively working to address their concerns about 
fingerprinting and compatibility.

WebKit: No signal (https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/630)

Web developers: Positive 
(https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/10650#issuecomment-3324124682) We have 
positive signals from users of the DevTrial:

WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it 
has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
No information provided



Reason this experiment is being extended
We have received substantial feedback, have made significant changes 
(WebGL/WebGPU APIs, privacy), and would like to continue collecting feedback.
