Well I think the jquery svg plugin has made up my mind re the ext vs jquery discussion.
Take a look at this jquery plugin: http://keith-wood.name/svg.html. This is appears to be a free software equivalent (though a bit more general and not *quite* as sophisticated) as the highcharts thing. I hadn't noticed before that highcharts is also making svg which is partly why they look so nice. In particular check out the graphing/plotting/mixture tabs. I don't think there can be a much easier open licenced way to make vector graphic, w3c standard svg charts than this :-) What do you think Jan? Would this meet your requirements?
