Having followed this discussion from digest purgatory while on a conference trip, my vote is for “Viewer” as well.
Viewer has these advantages: - not already a token in either LCS or LCB (that I know of) - is descriptive of what it does - is a nice parallel to player, a container for various time-based media. Viewport is a possibility, but it seems to already have a fairly precise technical definition in the computer graphics world. Canvas is okay, but evokes painting not vector graphics. My $.02.

Actually, I like the name "viewer" too, but if we could use the word "viewer" then "viewport" is more descriptive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewport By the way, this new control is a LC9 only widget. Right?
