The reason I mentioned raphaeljs is because it's very popular, mature javascript library. Only by coincidence, it produces SVG output as well (it does when it detects that browser doesn't have html5 support). So the fact that cairo has svg backend has nothing to do with the goal which is support for HTML5 canvas. I'm not sure if canvas is faster than SVG but using canvas we should gain some features specific for this technology.
