The second case is awesome btw. :)

And I do see your point. But in that case it's not really a platform thing, is it? In other words, case 1 is a static image for all users of all platforms. Thus perhaps in that instance, WebCore a11y should determine that it is ImageRole rather than CanvasRole and only declare CanvasRole for those objects which are functionally canvas.

Thoughts?
