And no, unlike Mozilla, Opera's 3d Canvas context is not a straight mapping of OpenGl ES. It is so for the simple reason that we are available on some platforms that don't support it. Actually our first research work started specifically with a platform no supporting OpenGl ES in mind. As I said in various comments, I like and drool at the capabilities of OpenGL + HLSL but I'm not sure this is suitable everywhere, or whether "web developers" are ready to dwelve into OpenGL's API.
