Should Canvas have been Image subclass instead of Node?

[John C. Turnbull]

How would you (easily) use it in the scenegraph if it wasn't a Node?

Subject: Should Canvas have been Image subclass instead of Node?

I have a case where I need to draw to a canvas and reuse it in multiple
nodes. My non-optimal work-around is to take a snapshot and use that, but it
makes me wonder if Canvas should have been an Image subclass or if
WritableImage should get it's own getGraphicsContext() method.
