If you're drawing with VML then there will be <shape> tags.
If you're drawing with SVG then there will be <svg> tags.
If you're drawing with CANVAS then there will be <canvas> tags.
If you're using the API to draw polys, then you can use
document.getElementsByTagName("shape").length
document.getElementsByTagName("svg").length
document.getElementsByTagName("canvas").length
to determine which drawing technology is being used and how many polys
there are.
If you're using VML directly, then
document.getElementsByTagName("shape").length
will count the number of <shape> tags that you used, even in browsers
that have absolutely no idea what a <shape> tag is.
document.getElementsByTagName("sausage").length
will count the number of <sausage> tags that you used, even though no
browsers have any idea what a <sausage> tag is, because I just made it
up.

There is such a thing as vml2svg (Go ogle it if you want more info) but
then what do you do about browsers like Safari and Chrome which have
neither VML nor SVG by default?
