The current timeline drawing code is a really nasty hack, abusing HTML in ways
not intended by its designers. (E.g. Arrowheads constructed from a ziggurat of
black-filled <div>s.)
This recent round of attempts to antialias these <div> ziggurats appears to
have unfortunate side-effects:
Note the variable arrowhead offset and the changing line thickness.
PNG, <canvas> and SVG at least are all *intended* for display of diagrams.
