One possible use case of canvas are technical drawings. For even
extremely simple drawings - think of a circle with centerlines and a
diameter dimension - dash-dotted lines are needed as well as dimension text.
I would like to see both (dashed lines and text) in future canvas versions.

In my opinion, this pattern generally makes sense semanti

The latter, IMHO, is semantically bogus. But that's just a matter of

I strongly agree and second this.

I would highly appreciate a lightweight, pragamatic solution for doing
math on the web in a convenient way. This solution could parallel MathML
the same way as Canvas parallels SVG. And that does not necessarily
mean, it should be javascript or Latex based -- though it might be.
