Hmm -- coll idea -- I'll look into that at some point. However, as I 
don't need the MPL machinerey, but just the renderer, I'm not sure it 
would buy me much.

And I'm not sure I can:

a) count on html 5 on all browsers we need to support

or

b) get the drawing performance I want if I have to push all the data to 
the client to draw.

But something to keep an eye on, thanks.
