For anyone interested in how isosurfaces are drawn and how JVXL
files can be put together, I've made some more additions to

http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/docs/JVXL-format.pdf

Nice pics there, I think. Planar slices are particularly well suited to this format. I was able to see reductions on the order of 2000-6000 -- from 6.7 Mb to 2.7 Kb in one case; from 1.8 Mb to 952 bytes, and 3.7 Mb to 1400 bytes in others.
So if all you want is one or more static slices through a molecule,
JVXL is a great way to go. Oh, to be able to do solvent surfaces this way!
I propose:

isosurface solvent 1.2   #optional radius

which would allow for

isosurface solvent color "some_density.cub" and creating .jvxl files for these so they can be loaded quickly.
I think we're pretty close, actually:

I'd be very interested to see what this would look like transformed into an 
isosurface.
(I understand it's not trivial....)

In addition, I think we should be able to map a solvent surface
with charge-related data directly, with no external file. But I don't know how to do that, and in any case, I'm not really sure we can get the solvent surface working this way. I'm come back to this when I can.
