Disabling the new HTML parser had nothing to do with enabling or
disabling new features like canvas (although it could probably break
some uses of some of those features).  It just gave you a broken and
unmaintained old HTML parser.

There are ways to disable some new features either at compile time
or at runtime, but not all of them.
