I'm with you on that one, but since there does seem to be quite a lot of
support for SVG, how about we change the discussion a little bit...
Why not use SVG as the default presentation, but also put in a check to
see if the user's browser supports SVG. If not, then have a fallback
mechanism that's something like my graph.
Both use the same interface to retrieve the data, so it's only a matter
of adding a few extra files to the distribution. If there's no way to
check if SVG is supported on a browser (haven't dealt with SVG, so don't
know), then make it an option for the user to pick. No real downside to
it IMHO.
