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.

Not really. For straight lines it's pretty trivial to do today anyway
(either by drawing actual dashed lines or faking it with a pattern),
and in general you can use other styles of lines instead of actual
dashes. Now of course I'm not saying that this is always a good
alternative, but it's not a blocker.
If someone actually does this, then we might have to reconsider.

Someone actually did.
I haven't tried using <canvas> for UML for publishing.
If I want to make a diagram published, I'd use the above strategies.
Trying to make UML Diagrams in the browser, current options are:
1) ASCII
2) Image
3) HTML + CSS + Images
A UML widget for a bugzilla plugin could be useful, so long as it was
simple and quicker to use than making ascii lines.
