Why not allow the graphics primitives to operate on any element (not

actually a JavaScript object, not an HTML DOM object)?
Because that would lead to many small nasty bugs on different elements.
Having it on a dedicated element makes it easier to implement which is a
big plus given the interoperability issues we have with <canvas> today
(although, like CSS, it's still usable).
