hi,
just a note about the misleading wish of wanting to show >2mb of vector
data in an internet based network. i really do not see the need for such
viewers/browsers. why should SVG viewer be able to handle more if
nowadays browsers (last versions of MSIE, FF, Opera) are not able to
handle much more themselves?! for comparison: load the google maps API,
add ~150 markers and try a smooth automated panning. good luck. that is
only HTML+AJAX and no vector graphics at all. and it fails...
