Lovely!
I think in this case clicking on a facet choice should not filter out
points but rather highlight the points that match the facet selection.
It's a bit disorienting after clicking on Word Series Winner "yes"--I
didn't expect the plot to change shape.
I'm also getting lots (thousands) of errors in Firebug:
plot._dataSource has no properties, timeplot_bundle.js (line 533)
var v = plot._dataSource.getValue(t);
But I think you've mentioned these before.
