Do you really assume your clients to be connected to the
net with a stable and low-latency connection all the time?
(Lab-environment or outdoor? wlan or umts?)
I guess you did consider local rendering of vector data before
settling for server-generated svg-images?

(I just want to make sure you are heading in the right direction.
 Every successfull project is nice, every one that is abadoned later
 for real-world usability is not.)
