My comment was "you can have both" - but there reference was to having  
both accessibility-enhancing content and fallback content for when canvas  
doesn't render, when you use the imagemap model instead of adom (adom  
forces you to choose one or the other, and then do a bunch of scripting to  
impleent your choice nicely).
