The latest feature in my bling branch is the ability to use any element as a paint-server CSS background for another element. There are a few motivations for this feature. Probably the biggest usage of the canvas "drawWindow" API extension in Mozilla is to create thumbnails of Web content. The problem is, drawWindow necessarily creates "snapshot" thumbnails. Wouldn't it be cooler if there was an easy way to create live thumbnails --- essentially, extra live viewports into Web content?
