 Comments:

 (1) I don't think you should worry too much about wireframe versus solid
 polygons yet.   This is javascript/canvas, after all.  I think it would be
 much better to focus on rendering a wider range of objects, e.g., make it
 so
 {{{
 icosahedron(color='red', viewer='canvas3d') + sphere(viewer='canvas3d')
 }}}
 works.

 (2) I notice that you're "I'm sure there are JavaScript? libraries
 available for 3D rendering using canvas. Could we plug one of these in?"
 I tried googling for some of those words, and the first thing that pops up
 is:
    http://www.nihilogic.dk/labs/canvas3dtexture_0.2/
 If you turn off the texture in that link and render some of the models
 (select from the list on the right), you'll see that indeed you are right,
 there are now 3d canvas javascript libraries.
