Mozilla, it seems, will be supporting a new element: canvas. This is a drawing area where browsers can write out bitmaps.
What of all that talk on being "standards" compliant?
Ironically, Microsoft is already being chided for (so it seems) not supporting this element.
If I understand the WHATWG Web Application spec, this element is to added as a core part of HTML/XHTML, rather than implemented using a custom DTD or a module.
There is a canvas demo here. Note that the document has no DOCTYPE. How does one validate this? Maybe by adding the WHATWG DOCTYPE:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "- !WHATWG NONSGML HTML5//EN">
