the approach that Andre is proposing is actually used for a DTM 
matrix at http://www.carto.net/williams/yosemite/ 
 
each time the user pans or zooms, a new matrix of dtm values is 
transfered. The values that are displayed are interpolated bilinear. 
 
A serverside CGI script extracts the requested range and resolution 
from a quad-tree like structure. 
 
Even if, in my case the data is dtm values, it could be adopted to 
other grid values as well. 
 
In order to keep the transfer-rates low you can dynamically zip the 
data using Apache mod-gzip. In my case the dtm resolution varies a 
bit - a matrix is around 400x400 to 500x500 and the transfer size 
per matrix is around 120-160k.

info per px in a 2-dim js-array and access this on mousemove based 
on some returned screen coords. 600² is a lot but not too much for 
js.
