As to D3... For the past week I've been soul-searching on how I've handled data-centric apps for SVG. (I'm getting ready to add a new chapter to a book on svg discussing SVG and data). This is an area of enterprise-type web apps in which willy-nilly data handling is not tolerated. Many of my methods are unique, and work, but there is no basis that they can be validated in this professional arena of web development. D3, however provides that basis. It will give web developers a common ground for serious data display using SVG, rather than each of us trying the re-invent the wheel of SVG data presentation.
