Ahh, ok. I see. You want to use the canvas as a wrapper for the decorated path. Now it makes sense what you wrote. And right, we have not yet decided what a canvas could stand for in the future and how its signature could look like. Still, it looks ill-designed to me for the moment, but I have to think about this one. So don't take it serious that I don't like it at the moment. Anyway, we might already leave the points originally addressed by Andreas mail. I may not have been that wrong with my original reply. Lets see ...
