Description

A fundamental capability missing from the web is the ability to complement Canvas with HTML elements. Adding this capability enables Canvas surfaces to benefit from all of the styling, layout and behaviors of HTML, including interactive elements and built-in accessibility.

There are 2 API surfaces to be exposed on this proposal. First, a high level API that brings an Element and its subtree into the 2D Canvas. Second, a broken down version that allows finer control over Javascript and is also available in 3D contexts.
