Continuing to work on world map prototype based this demo: http://www.degrafa.org/source/DegrafaMapSample/DegrafaMapDemo.html.  I have a widget reading in SVG based xml and creating a degrafa based map but there are some kinks like weird transforms going on in the SVG that are hard to reproduce so some countries are showing up skewed or misplaced.

I really wish we weren’t so limited and could use some kind of map server to quickly produce maps like this: http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisserver/apis/flex/samples/index.html.
