> 4) File a bug against CG on this faulty behavior (just did that) and hope that it can be fixed in future releases.
> 5) In GraphicsContextCG, "fix" this faulty behavior for all OSes that don't this possible future CG fix (via Gestalt).

> 7) Remove the GraphicsContextCG "fix" in a few thousands years if/when we no longer need to support the broken CG.

Can you also start a thread on the WHATWG list explaining this proposal?  Other vendors might have input that could alter this plan.  This seems fine to me, however, unless we discover that there is some content that depends on the current behavior that we have to support.
