Research direction

Start by reading the basic canvas sample and the advanced example using unbox, then inspect how Browser.DOM is used. Update a sample to demonstrate creating a canvas or other DOM objects, with additional examples such as nodelists if appropriate; the samples should build and clearly show the intended DOM manipulation.

Description

It's not intuitive how I should create a DOM element of a certain type using Fable. I'd like to see an example of this in the samples.

Updating an existing sample to demonstrate this would be nice. The basic canvas example could be modified to create the canvas before using it, as one possible solution to this issue.

Edit: it looks like the "advanced" example uses unbox. Further examples of creating things like nodelists and such would be welcome.
