Thanks Christian,
Agreed, more work has to be done. One problem I find with this is that the
build-generated (X)HTML pages are not contained within a packaged vehicle, as
in a .swf, etc. These free-standing pages are at the mercy of the Silverlight
plug-in being installed on the user's OS, and at

As far as I'm aware, it's not something that Google will automatically

I have been using span tags and absolute positioning. I have also
recently started to use the sliding doors method because you can

white then there is no problem a normal gif would do best but if the

and change the font-size in the body to 1em and test in IE5.5.
See what you come up with.

I think you probably need to work with individual groups in a way that
is appropriate for them, rather than trying to find one way to do it
all. For example, unless you transpose labels
Now instead of opening up inkscape it's just a call to a PHP script like:
