Your objection doesn't seem to make sense. <canvas> is *explicitly* designed to solve the use-case of drawing images from script, which is what you were suggesting javascript urls could be useful for. Suggesting it for that use-case is thus completely appropriate and useful, unlike the hypothetical response you bring up in your objection. ~TJ
