Going back over my weby-web basics...I seriusly don't recall when WebyWebs got to having good support for SVG and PostScripts. That is so awesome.  Is that new to HTML5. Udacity sugests including them with Canvas something about compatability and fluidity/responsitveness.

Either way that rocks rocks as a option.

Yes SVG and Canvas are HTML5 features that are very nifty. Canvas has
an excellent Javascript API, comparable, though not identical, to the
Cairo graphics library for C/C++.

A big shame is that MathML seems to have died. It is only supported in
Gecko-based browsers like Firefox, which has rapidly diminishing
market share. So we still have to embed images to represent
mathematics (poorly) like it was 1993.

I've heard of MathML having issues.. Do you know if something like webcompents+polymer or baking it into HTML might be next.

And yeah Iike some things fire fox does over Chrome. History, addons. older browser versions. Wich is great. like if their's a gremlin in Acme's Latest. I can use Acme's Slightly Older one. 

It amuses me everything but Ieeee doesn't like canvas..I've found canvas useful as a backup.

Unless it's changed Wordpress is really weird when it comes to JavaScript. Canvas can do some stuff pretty well without lagging horribly. (Loading slides for example) 

YAR!
