This is very interesting indeed! Some additional thoughts: * Network transparency. It would be interesting to be able to run an application remotely but have the code for UI realisation run locally. * X independence. Since Vis doesn't depend on X, it would be easier to use it with an alternative windowing system. Of course, both of these depend on support in the canvas capability APIs as well. You have described the API using Lua, but I assume that a real implementation would have to be done as a C library? -- Pelle
