Hi All,
As I read this link,It seems that the problem of canvas
accessibility(fallback content) has been solved:
The recently released Internet Explorer 9 beta implements the HTML5
specification’scanvas element fallback concept. This means that the content
inside a canvas elements start and end tags is exposed to assistive
technology users even when the browser supports canvas. It also means that
any interactive elements, inside a canvas elements start and end tags such
as links or form controls will be included in a documents default tab order
even when the browser supports canvas.
Also the problem of focusing on elements,
Now which problem exists and not solved?

As was pointed out previously, a navigable canvas sub-DOM is only a partial solution.
Provision of a focus ring on the canvas whose co-ordinates are programmatically exposed so that AT such as screen magnifiers can correctly convey current focus on areas of a canvas.
Ditto for caret
Also provision of a native method to pass events fired on areas of the canvas to elements in the sub-DOM.

And we must not forget implementation in other browsers. While IE today deserves mention for being "on it", there *are* other browsers that need to at least catch up to IE, not to mention also supporting the solutions currently being sought for the issues Steve described.
