In fact what would be far more convinient for this xml type of terminal 
would be to include the js file (optionally) inside the svg/canvas xml 
document.

I thought I submitted some code a year or two ago to do just that by 
inserting the js in a CDATA block or something,

This may not always be a good choice since just gnuplot_svg.js is about 
6kB. However, my svg is about 37k so that's acceptable for my use.

Since I quite often email these to colleges, it would be much easier to 
send one self contained file.  These days 6k is a small price to pay for 
that convenience.
