I do have experience writing AJAX/DOM scripting (i.e. Freemap) and
conceptually I am attracted to the SVG/DOM/AJAX approach to interactive web
apps. It aligns quite well with what I'm doing in Freemap.

I am certainly prepared to volunteer to look into this and develop some
code if people would like to take me up on the offer. What I would probably
do is call the 0.2 API through AJAX and then convert the OSM XML into SVG.
