Fair enough. My questions were about the *potential* the demo represented,
as opposed to the actual content, accuracy, data source, etc. Personally,
I'll take this over any slow, cumbersome, complex, over engineered
Java/Flash app, no matter how much more data (or even relationships) it may
reveal. Since this one separated display/structure/function via XML and was
thus expandable if one so desired, many of the issues so far raised could
easily be solved. So while the demo itself may fail some of your general
info-viz goals, it nevertheless offers a few of the attributes sorely
missing from similar hyperbolic/star tree maps: nimbleness, ease-of-use,
simplicity, etc.

I take it that you didn't like it? :-)
