The "Eoconnor" CP is a vast departure from the spec as it existed prior 
and as it is implemented.
I don't believe one week is enough time to complete and submit a 
concrete counter-proposal.

Further, the Canvas group just gained new editors; it has and will take 
them time to catch up on the discussion.

We seem to have general consensus on many of the features: supporting 
SVG path d; dashed lines, reporting the offset of text baseline
and supporting the binding of a hit region to a an element within the 
sub-tree.

We do not have consensus about the new "Path" object, unbacked hit 
regions nor the footprint of the text baseline reporting methods.
I intend a simple, incremental change to the existing Canvas 
specification that more closely matches the design of Canvas 
implementations and consumers.
