Hi joshue,

By this sentence:
"So should you now built stuff that you want to be accessible in <canvas>?
Nope."
you mean as a developer,or no as a person who wants to try making canvas
accessible?

How can I access the works that has been done on this area?

And I have a question about IE9,whether it's problem really has been solved?

Maybe in fact the canvas accessibility is not completely clear for me,

I will be thankful if any body explain it's problem in a sentence,because I
dizzy,in some blog post for 2009 I read that the problem is about fallback
content,that it seems by release of IE9 it has been solved:(

So....?!

Thanks because of your guidance
