With the introduction of the HTML5 <canvas> element, could Swing be implemented in GWT?

With the introduction of the HTML5 <canvas> element, could Swing theoretically be implemented in Google Web Toolkit (GWT) by using the <canvas> tag for drawing?
I'm aware of efforts to port source code from using Swing calls to GWT calls, but what I'm after is a pure behind the scenes port where a Swing application would compile under GWT without any source code modifications.
Is that theoretically possible? Why? Why not?
