1) I don't want accurate GIS, just a consistent UI experience. Right now, if you have several polylines and want to change the cursor on mouseover, for example, the UI is very, very bad, because of the problem I described.
2) The click approach seems to be about right, the onmouseover is a different beast. From my understanding, a diagonal line results in a big rectangle that triggers mouseover.
